He's choosing to be censored, therefore it isn't censorship. He could easily use a different app or different platform and get his naughty words unmolested.
This is a completely non-issue and a waste of time. These types of articles are rearing their heads more than usual lately.

Underpowered? It's an 800Mhz ARM CPU, surely to fuck it can do a little text processing on 150 character tweets.
I'm guessing top-end mainframes didn't achieve that kind of CPU power until the late 80s.
Back in the day, ftp.cdrom.com pushed ~1TB a day from one 200-MHz P6 Pentium Pro.
Now get of my lawn.
