John, So am I mistaken that Twitter "blocks" (and by blocks I mean does not allow to be visible) certain content in certain countries, in accordance with local regulation?
I'm not saying its right or wrong, but unless I'm mistaken about this, its a bit melodramatic to get on your high horse about the "lack if censorship or mediation" of tweets, which, if twitter filters tweets based on location is just prima facie untrue. I happen to completely understand why twitter does this and believe the ability to "change your set location" in order to avoid the filtering is a good workaround. That said, no need to be rude, dramatic, or misleading. Brian On Dec 15, 2012 4:38 AM, "John Adams" <j...@retina.net> wrote: > I work there. Read the damn TOS.
