very interesting. Looks like those western folks are more inclining towards communist principles than the guy from Egypt. The world is changing. Well we always need herds in our backyard and looks like its gonna be westerners this time.

Man... That egyptian guy has terrible genes

No the Saudi's payed 300 million to get internal access to all there peoples posts, so that they could hunt them down like dogs.

[foresakenlion]

They sell all your data that's their model.

[ubbgn]

I really would like to know who has the morals to say wht is good and wht not!?

We have the choice, every opinion does count, no matter if we agree or not!!!!!!!

So if ppl dont like twitter moves, dont use it!

censorship= fascism , keep it going!:P

[R3dp055um]

Shit on a stick, the effing Saudis bought Twitter?

I knew there was a good reason not to use it.

[Redfingers]

Wow how grotesque....they will remove a tweet from UK viewers because it was "defamatory?"

Ugh, this is -exactly- the kind of abuse we're talking about. It's exactly western government censorship I'm worried about, particularly given how invasive the United States government has been with regards to farming information secretly with secret subpoenas on Twitter and other social networking/media sites. This is just worrisome and there is no other way about it.

Didnt al waleed bin talal see how MySpace went from being worth hundreds of millions to about 20 million don't invest in Twitter it will soon be obsolete

[JogBird]

[floppies]

[DarthSchwartz]

never used twitter.

[t0yo]

Mass Exodus from twitter

[completesculpture]

First of all that so called geek who writes for webuser should be ashamed of himself spouting such nonsense. As a geek myself I expect better from them. The suit I can understand taking such a pro censorship position and hats off to the political activist telling it like it is. All Twitter is doing here is planting another seed for a rival no censorship service to grow in its place.

I NEVER use Twitter.

[ruapraia]

Here's an idea, lets ,make TWITTER an obsolete thing of the past, by not using it.

[RagingBubuli]

@ruapraia I love your idea!

[skinnym974]

@ruapraia Considering the number of users and how addicted people become, would be hard to do unless you propose something much better and more entertaining (yet having more freedom). What's your idea? Besides, it would be beyond the point - as eloquently stated in this panel, if Twitter wants to expand to China (a country with a block-all rule), better to have a mechanism and have some features at least.
