Twitter To Censor Content In Specific Countries

MASHABLE – Jan 26 – In a blog post called “The Tweets Still Must Flow”, Twitter announced Thursday that it is giving itself the right to withhold content in certain countries while keeping that content available to the rest of the world. The change means that any content deemed inappropriate by a specific government can now be withheld locally, with notifications going out to the user that either the specific Tweet or account has been censored. Twitter recently announced that it will become available in Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and Urdu, languages used in many countries where government censorship is common.
