SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Twitter has refined its technology so it can censor messages on a country-by-country basis.
.

Among other things, Twitter wants to expand its audience from about 100 million active uses now, to more than 1 billion.

Now I'd call that a social networking site ,

I'm surprised to hear this from a site that had such a huge impact in the arabspring protests. I imagine there's been pressure placed on them from all sides though so I can understand it.

There are a few folk on twitter saying they will quit the site in protest if the censorship goes ahead.

I don't have a twitter account ,not for a long time. But isn't more about music then social chatting ? It seems like when I did go there a lot of famous bands and artists were on there more then anything .

Presumably they are going to sell/give that tech to the FBI ?

No.

It depends on who you follow really. I don't follow many celebrities as they're rather boring, most of the people I follow I chat regularly with. Twitter was designed for people to talk to each other in short bursts with minimal conversational commitment.

It already sensors them....I can't post on there anymore because all of my tweets are marked "dangerous" or whatever....or it gives me a messaging saying "Error"

Well there's a 140 character limit, so whatever you say you say it in 140 characters. Or spread it over several tweets depending on how much you want to say at once.

Okay thanks. My mind was taking that 'short burst 'in all sorts of amusing directions .

Really?

I've never had that. Twitter is stupid about sending messages sometimes but that's always due to it being over capacity or a network problem. Never heard of anyone getting tweets marked as 'dangerous.'
