The http://www.occupy.com/ link ends with:''Once again, society finds itself at a crossroads between free expression .. with all the dirt and peril it presents, and a false sense of safety and security at the hands of censorious powers who assure us they're acting in our best interest. What initially seems a well meaning effort could, down the line, be ruinous to the most fundamental principles of civil liberty.''
caveat actor ...
Twitter was banning OWS from trending for the longest time...
At 3:36 p.m, the OWS posted this on their site:
"It appears that Twitter is censoring our updates."
Was it only a temporary problem? Has it been resolved since? I dont't know. I don't use Twitter.
I do not use twitter, so I do not know. But, I do use youtube and they are not censoring anything at all yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reazEr_AIBk
Yes. The government is stopping your free speech because you're an idiot, and aren't worthy.
