Twitter users already being censored. (NDAA)

[JTforRP]

Officially terrified.

If anybody needed more motivation to keep busting ass for Ron Paul, here it is!

Seems like a blanket censorship running throughout the whole propaganda spectrum.

:eek:

..Believe it or not, my Twitter account has been suspended indefinitely too.

So did you ask "for more information at 'Suspended Accounts'"?

Yes, they told me my coverage and voting (during the FOX Debate) was considered annoying to other users.. The funny part is, I made my account the same date FOX Debate took place, and I had NO followers.

Did you guys read that article about a week ago about the government having access to every tweet we've ever tweeted?

Creepy.

I always suspected one of Twitter's largest investors JP Morgan was behind the #OWS censorship. Seems they are also going after #NDAA too. Wonder if they will censor #RonPaul next

Well, I'm not surprised. I always though they had access to every bit of communications.

Twitter is freaking PUBLIC, it was DESIGNED public. Of course, ANYONE can read it. (Library of Congress is archiving it all supposedly)

This should not be a surprise. Anybody has access if they choose to follow you. Just as anybody has access here to posts if they choose to read them. The difference likely is that the gov'mint has a more sophisticated means of gathering and preserving them. :D

It seems that if other people were being annoyed by your tweets, then they should unsubscribe and/or block you. It's a shame that Twitter doesn't take that approach.

Unless you were putting @SPecificPeople in the tweet, annoying someone shouldn't be grounds for dismissal. There are plenty of people on Facebook that annoy me, and I manage to keep them under my own individual radar.

It would be so easy to make twitter into peer-to-peer software that is completely decentralized, more than even napster was, it is not even funny.

Someone should do it, and I want in if you want to develop it.

If you read the comments on the OP link you'll see the "censorship" angle of the author is suspicious.

*ALERT* Acct shut by Twitter due to "tweeting too much about #OWS (https://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23OWS) and #NDAA (https://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23NDAA)" was a MISTAKE. Account has been restored. Stand down.

I am a little skeptical of the comments

[McDermit]

Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me!


The guy was spamming. He got filtered and suspended automatically. Same thing happened to me while promoting BTO--too many uses of the same hashtag, too many @menions, or posting the same url too frequently. It's easier to get a new account suspended than an old one. I can @mention a ton of people and spam Ron Paul links and hashtags on my old account (5k followers) all day, but posting even half as much on a newly established account gets me banned.

Guy is being about as logical as Bachmann with her Iran Nuke fear mongering.

I posted about the Dovetail Project a few days ago. They are developing exactly what you said. P2P, decentralized, immune to censorship and FREE. They are looking for support. They have a Kickstarter page. Here's a link: Dovetail Project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kvogeltanz/dovetail-voice-to-the-people)

I've been day dreaming about this a lot, so my two cents: Ultimately, these services like Twitter and Facebook are privately owned and some of us are willingly submitting ourselves to experience their pyramid of things. At first, I thought this was all pretty cool until I learned a little about organizational systems and authoritarian leadership (all-seeing-eye). In the long run...once more people want to communicate and become more network savvy, these systems will become obsolete, for I do not believe they couldn't keep up with the demand and we realize that we can be much more powerful if we maintain our own private server that we can host our own web site, status updates, data sharing, and video conferencing as simple as picking up a phone to call someone down the road. Now, I also believe the likes of ATT is most likely milking the current form of things. So, we people need to get on message to ask for static IP (Most likely in the form of IPv6) by default and that we are tired of submitting ourselves to others.
