Twitter adds new technology on its site, which allows the censor tweet in certain countries. Previously, if a government wants to block tweets related to a topic, then Twittershould block all tweets in the whole world.
"Start now, we have the ability to withhold content from and to the users in certain countries, but still does not ignore its availability to users in other countries," theannouncement delivered Twitter via his official blog.
In the censored tweet, Twitter will show the word 'Tweet Withheld: This tweet from @username has been withheld in: Country'. As shown in the screenshot below.
For now, Twitter has not used his new abilities. This sensor will be done when they were asked to withhold (withhold) a tweet in certain countries.
"We will try to let users know - tweet is censored. And we'll mark clearly if there iscontent that is on hold," said Twitter.
Some time after it was announced, many are worried about the ability of this newTwitter. A number of analysts, Twitter's commitment to freedom of speech and expression can be weakened if the sensor is applied.
