Twitter Builds a Better Gagger

Twitter announced on Thursday that it can now withhold content from users country by country on demand, while still making that content available to the rest of the world. The news sparked widespread anger as critics accused the microblogging service of censorship and warned that the policy might impede popular anti-government movements such as those seen during the Arab Spring, which toppled several dictatorial governments in the Middle East last year. “This does appear to constitute censorship,” Yasha Heidari, managing partner at the Heidari Power Law Group, told TechNewsWorld.
