On January 28th, and until further notice, EU-Digest suspended the publishing of selected reports on Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/EU_Digest ) in view of Twitter's plans to allow country-specific censorship of tweets that might break local laws.
We believe this new Twitter policy is a complete role reversal for this innovative and young company, which from its start-up has always prided itself to promote uncensored expression, 140 characters at a time.
Twitter's decision to align itself with local censors is depriving cyber dissidents in repressive countries around the world of an indispensable tool for information and organization.
We urge Twitter to dump this undemocratic censorship policy immediately.
