I'm not raising [consipracy] possibilities. I'm saying that the fact that this is not transparent (even at the level of finding out WHETHER something was blocked) is dangerous. Also - in the other incident (the bitcoin one) there's no such explanation, and I'm not "raising possibilities" that twitter has something against a lowly merchant. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's malicious flagging. The fact that we don't KNOW scares me because of the implications of this in the future. I believe twitter are well meaning people, and wouldn't want to support totalitarianism any more than the "founding fathers" of TCP/IP did (and as we know - they were a bit sloppy in avoiding that), but it's a serious problem and it should be addressed.
