Many people say @Twitter is censoring
links to #DNCLeak emails. Please search
wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/ select a result
and try posting.
Call me a cynic, but might this not simply be a ploy to get people to post lots of links to these documents? What other evidence do we have that links are being censored?
Maybe I've just been doing security analysis too long ...
I have been following the thread on Twitter over the past 5 hours. If I don't refresh my screen, there are Thousands (tens of thousands) of tweets, retweets, etc. Once I refresh my screen, they are all gone. There are only tweets every hour or several hours. Try it.
Twitter has been censoring right-leaning political figures for the past few years. Is it any surprise that leaked emails, which makes many Democrats in the DNC look bad, would be censored as well?
Many people really don't care about censorship..until their point-of-view is marginalized, ignored, and silenced.
Normally, I would say it's just desserts, but it just shows many people's sad view of 'freedom'

In this particular field of human activity, I regard everything with deep suspicion. Oddly ironic, since before Snowdon I was less suspicious.
