Zune HD Twitter App Censors Tweets For You!
SharpFang writes "The new Zune HD Twitter app censors naughty words out of tweets in your timeline. Sure, it's a free app, but this kind of active content censorship just rubs me the wrong way."

I hate these f****** people always f******* censoring anything they can get their f****** hands on!!!!
This needs more cowbell!!!
Your Zune usage rubs me the wrong way.
"This Zune HD isn't as good as the i*** T*****. I wish I could hook it up to my M** instead of my PC."
Perhaps in the near future it will be repurposed to filter out the stupid. I, for one, would blow Bill Gates if he could just do this and kill Twitter.
This is a clbuttic case of censorship gone too far.
What do you call 1 million censored tweets?
A good start!
Hey-o!
Stupid fucking disrespecting-my-goddamn-freedom-of-speech assholes.

It should be an option, not a requirement.
An option that turns on during Friday and Saturday nights so drunken texts to professors are less likely to get you kicked out of school.
Damn straight. Publishing short, pointless messages saying whatever's on your mind to random intertubes strangers? Who would waste their time doing that?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
This would greatly affect all 3 users of this Zune thing.
I think the submitter plans on not using it, and most likely submitted the story to inform others, should they wish to not use it as well.
I think the submitter should elaborate on what this "wrong" way of rubbing is. Just to inform other, should they wish to be rubbed in that way.
I for one welcome our new wrong-rubbing overlords
A couple of posts before, there were THREE Zune users. Now there are nine? It's popularity has tripled in a matter of hours?
Somebody go wake up Balmer.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!

WASHINGTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Thursday began the award of $2 billion in grants and loans over the next 75 days as part of a plan to dramatically expand Americans' **** and create *************.
The $2 billion is part of an overall $7.2 billion set aside in President Barack Obama's $787 billion economic recovery package to bring ******* access to unserved or underserved U.S. communities.
Vice President Joe Biden, at an event in Dawsonville, Ga., announced details of an initial $183 million investment in a range of ******* projects in 17 states.
"New **** access means more **** and better **** in rural areas and underserved urban communities around the country," he said in a statement.
Biden's chief economist, Jared Bernstein, told reporters in a briefing the administration was not able to provide more precise figures on exactly how many **** would be created.
