Further evidence that the Media Control Room has Lost Control of the Control Room and is mad and angry that they can't fully control you and what you choose to communicate.

 In case you hadn't heard Twitter has announced it's new takedown policy. It may or may not effect you, depending on what country you're living in.

It's been accurately noted that Twitter (like most other global Internet firms, including Google and Microsoft) has long globally removed certain materials as a perceived legally required response to individual countries' "orders" in these respects. Localized takedowns (such as the removal of certain Nazi-oriented search results in France) are not uncommon.

And obviously such companies must obey these orders if they are to continue doing business in those nations -- even when the orders are utterly contrary to basic tenets of human rights and free speech. ( All quotes Taken from the Vortex Website)

In their analysis of this situation, EFF briefly mentions -- but seems to downplay -- the "slippery slope" aspect of country by country censorship capabilities. EFF also asserts that "transparency" requirements -- e.g., Twitter publicly noting when takedowns occur, represents a significant mitigating factor.

So basically what TWITTER is saying is that if JAPAN had told Twitter NOT to post Tweets from the Japanese Public after the Japan's earthquake, because Japan would prefer "The rest of the world" Not KNOW the Twitter would have to abide by that country's rules. 

But in the case of Italy which is on the verge of a full revolt, Twitter might be forced to enact Italy's Tweeting Laws. See the difference.  One tweet is considered good, another tweet ahhhhhh, not so good depending on who's says the tweet is good or not.
