Twitter to censor tweets on a country-by-country basis

[J5MARLON]

I just LOVE how the world accepts China's censorship politics instead of encouraging information freedom even in America anti-communist want Chinese censoring politics. What a brave new world. Here in America we know nothing about China's Muslim population being moved off there homeland or farmers riots but we know everybody is happy with there market gap between the very poor and the super rich.

... it just annoys me!

[eerereps]

you guy, what the fuck man! - I mean... why would you wanna censor a person's will to say something? - I mean... that's just cruel!

[WAKEUPshift111]

SOPA, PIPA, now this... what the FUCK is going onnn

[joseenelsur]

The Iluminati are behind this dictatorial new law!!

[roboticterror]

@joseenelsur If only the Illuminati really exited

[joseenelsur]

@roboticterror Ask George Bush, Ratzinger, Van Rompuy, prince Charles, etc. about that.

[roboticterror]

@joseenelsur How about you conspiracy theorists give some evidence? Real evidence, not something you pull out your ass.

[roboticterror]

@joseenelsur If they erased all proof, than how can logically claim the Iluminati is behind this or anything. Logic, use it

[joseenelsur]

@roboticterror Just for that we have INTUITION. Too much logic go hand in hand with the false reality that TV displays everyday. Mostly lies.

[roboticterror]

@joseenelsur Intuition is nothing more than an assertion; a belief that cannot be justify.

Logic and reason is how we get things done; it's how we determine what is true.

[joseenelsur]

@roboticterror Nowadays too much "logic" and "reason" is what keeps mankind stuck in 100% Materialism. With "logic and reason" is that catholic church said centuries before that Earth was flat, kingdoms aloud slavery, women were treated a bit better than animals.

[roboticterror]

@joseenelsur You act like materialism is evil or something. For what we can tell, this material world is the only one that exist. The flat earth theory was from a literally interpreting the bible; The ancient Greeks discover the earth was round beforehand using logic and reason. Slavery and sexism came from bigotry, not logic or reason. You should learn a bit more about logic and how truth determine, and history.

[roboticterror]

@joseenelsur How can you have too much too much materialism? There's no proof of the phenomena. And if those other realities can't be demonstrated with the techniques we have, then how you claim they even exist? Also, those atrocities might of seem logical to those who cause them, but they were not. Those atrocities were fuel by bigotry and fear, not logic or/and reason.

[joseenelsur]

@roboticterror I suppose "too much materialism" is when despite the existence of certain (or many) scientific proofs still some people keep denying the existence of ... for example: alien life (very near to us like Mars, moons of Jupiter, etc), lost civilizations (like Atlantis), life after death, parallel realities, alternative free energy sources, etc.

@joseenelsur The enlightenment movement? Why? How is this fighting absolutism and the power of the Catholic church?

[joseenelsur]

@595o I don't know what is that Enlightmente movement. I suposse sth similar to the New Age movement. The latter in certain way fights absolutism or the catholic church but is so imperfect that is doomed to fail but not before the end of religions I guess.

[595o]

@joseenelsur You never learned about the enlightenment movement in school?! "cogito ergo sum" and "sapere aude!" says nothing to you? Ever heard of Erasmus of Rotterdam, Descartes, Voltaire, Kant…? Hell, even Thomas Paine, one of the US founding fathers could be considered a follower of the ideas of the age of enlightenment… Wow, it's really sad to see someone not knowing that, I hope that you might be still in middle school and that you will learn about this later.

[LInsomnie]

don't censor anyone!

[arad7613]

Ha! When I was in Tiananmen Sq., I took a photo with Mao seemingly sitting on my hand.

This is probably for the best. The alternative would have surely been some countries blocking Twitter altogether. And history shows that partial censorship only makes people more creative, and never prevents them fro getting their message across.

[JLCL01]

@arad7613

That actually sounds pretty harmless/innocent.

And you mean like using binary codes or some sort of secret message as a way to get around censorship?

[arad7613]

@JLCL01 Yes. Or metaphors that would make a mockery out of the censorship, and thus ridicule the authorities as well.

Also, even if ppl in the country don't get to see it, the rest of the world will, and that's important. Until now, if a tweet was deleted under a certain government's pressure, it was deleted altogether.

[aboodankaboot]

Censor air while you're at it!
