Twitter Developing Technology To Thwart Censorship

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 27, 2010 @01:50PM from the unblockable-force dept.

SHMG writes "Micro-blogging site Twitter is developing technology that will prevent government censorship, after Iran and China moved to censor its users. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Twitter CEO and co-founder Evan Williams said the company was working on 'hacks' to stop any blocking by foreign governments. 'We are partially blocked in China and other places and we were in Iran as well,' he said. 'The most productive way to fight that is not by trying to engage China and other governments whose very being is against what we are about.'"

Sea shepeard do great work, your terrorism spin is plain ludicrous.
In fact the Japanese whalers are the people breaking the law, as their blatant deliberate ramming and sinking of a sea shepard boat recently attests.
The rape of the seas thru bottom scraping overfishing is an upcoming disaster of epic proportions, and personally, I support Sea shepard 100%.
What drives your irrational dislike of them I wonder? I smell a financial incentive.
