Twitter Clampdown Could Impede Anonymous Tweets 93
judgecorp writes "Twitter is going to clamp down on abuse and 'trolling' according to its CEO Dick Costolo.

The difficulty is that moves to stop trolling could also curtail the anonymous Tweets which have been useful for protest in repressive regimes."

Since we didn't like what some individuals were saying in our "web 2.0" model we are now turning it into solely a broadcast medium for celebrities to promote their projects and plug their endorsements, and the "popular" to spew their random 140 character thought fragments that nobody with a brain cares about in the first place.
What could go wrong?

This has already been done. It's called 4chan. It's a good place to have anonymous discussions.
Posting as anonymous, because slashdot hates that website.
That's like going to Hooters for their menu.
I'm posting anonymous because I fear the revenge of the nerds.
