Twitter Announces New Censorship Compliance Policy

Howard Wagler — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:03:00 +0000

Twitter has had to make a difficult decision on censorship. All social media sites that have a global presence have to deal with local laws regarding censorship, and the path Twitter is taking deserves accolades for its transparency. From the WSJ today (http://on.wsj.com/zIGXLN), Twitter will begin blocking content by Geographic Region, rather than globally blocking content when a take down request is received from certain governments. The countries this will be practiced in are not specified, but Twitter states that some countries “differ so much from our ideas that we will not be able to exist there”, so it is unclear how widespread the practice will become.

Move to Register.com

The move of this site to Register.com is complete, and we must say that the experience thus far has been phenomenal. The customer support actually seems to care about why you called, so the days of having to call five times in a row (over 5 days) to 1and1 appear to be nearing an end. While Register.com costs a little (ok, a lot) more, my experience so far seems to indicate the extra cost is more than worth it. With a 100% uptime guarantee from them, you can expect to hear from me often!
