Twitter Can Now Block Tweets In Specific Countries

itwbennett writes "In a blog post on Thursday, Twitter announced that it can now block individual Tweets in specific countries, while leaving them visible in other countries. 'We try to keep content up whenever and wherever we can, and we will be transparent with users when we can't,' the blog said. Twitter will publish requests it receives to block content through its partnership with Chilling Effects."

if you think fox news is bad, try cnn. Last time I watched, I thought twitter had bought their own network to do nothing but read tweets.

I don't know of any data compression method that will let you put a feature length movie into 140 characters.

Here ya go... The Perfect Storm compressed to less than 140 characters: "They all die"

Ohh crap, I just realized that anyone who reads that is pirating the movie. Sorry guys.

Racist of the year award goes to this man. Why did Europe 'discover' Africa, and not vice-versa?

It was the 'discovered Africa' thing that tipped you off that he/she was racist? Not the word nigger, dune coons, or undesirables? I'm just trying to help you here when I say, you might want to work on understanding the underlying meaning behind sentences, because you missed some big ones there.

I'd even go so far as to say he was being racist on purpose.
