- I linked to and endorsed my colleague Paul Smalera's post about Twitter censorship which elicited some dissenting responses in terms of how lightly we should take or accept Twitter's new censorship policy.
- If you haven't already seen it, @smalera's reasoned analysis of the Twitter censorship fury is a must read http://reut.rs/xEcIha a

- @AntDeRosa "grow up" and accept censorship as a given? So condescending, & doesn't address why this is happening: staff+offices overseas.

— Xeni Jardin (@xeni)Mon, Jan 30 2012 22:03:12 - @xeni Countries are going to block Twitter entire without this, it's almost as if Twitter ran an end around on them with this policy

— Anthony De Rosa (@AntDeRosa)Tue, Jan 31 2012 02:34:31- @AntDeRosa if Twitter were only subject to US laws, this would be non-issue. Once physically inside another nation, another matter.

— Xeni Jardin (@xeni)Mon, Jan 30 2012 22:03:12 - @AntDeRosa clarification: not having a physical location and on-the-ground staff in speech-hostile countries.

— Xeni Jardin (@xeni)Mon, Jan 30 2012 22:03:12 - @AntDeRosa last I checked, Twitter was already used by people around the world, despite not having offices/staff in each nation.
