What do you think about Twitter allowing country-specific censorship of tweets?
-
No big deal, Twitter is not above the law, and therefore has to remove stuff that is illegal, just like everybody else does.
- No big deal, I don't use Twitter anyway.
- This is censorship, and sadly, it's the end of Twitter as a tool for freedom and revolution.
- What did you expect? Twitter is a business, not a freedom-fighting superhero.
- Actually, the way Twitter is doing this is kind of smart, as there is a huge bureaucracy to go through to remove a tweet locally, meanwhile the tweet is still visible to the rest of the world.

| About us... |
The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech news.
We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech just celebrated its 10th anniversary. We're very proud to be featured regularly on places like AllThingsD (from the people who publish The Wall Street Journal), Bloomberg Businessweek, Folha in Brazil, and others, both on the web and in print.
You can follow us on Twitter @Nitrozac and @Snaggy, or on Google+ at +Nitrozac JoT and +Snaggy JoT.
We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
