2012-01-28: Twitter Blackout Saturday!!! From: Rocio Hernandez <djzeld...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:00:10 -0800 To: occup...@lists.riseup.net Subject: [occupyla] Twitter Blackout Sat 1/28
Twitter has announced that it will begin to censor tweets in certain countries where the governments request it. A lot of twitter users are going to boycott Twitter tomorrow in response to Twitter caving in to governments that will limit free speech. Can you imagine what chilling effect this would have had in the Middle Eastern revolutions if this policy had existed a year ago? So if you use Twitter please consider participating in the Twitter Blackout tomorrow! Make sure to tweet that you're participating in the Twitter Blackout using #TwitterBlackout hashtag sometime today though so that people know you're boycotting tomorrow.

This is a global not just US blackout, you can see tweets in Spanish, Arabic, and other languages on that hashtag too. -Rocio ### ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
