Twitter is giving itself the facility to withhold content in specific countries, while keeping that content available for the rest of the world, the company has announced. Until now, the only way for Twitter to censor content was to universally eliminate it from the site. This change means content deemed inappropriate by a specific government can be withheld locally, explains a blog post called The Tweets Still Must Flow. When we receive a request from an authorized entity, we will act in accordance with appropriate laws and our terms of service, a Twitter rep told Mashable. If and when content is withheld, affected users will be notified of either an account or tweet’s censorship. Twitter will make that decision public on Chilling Effects, through an expanded partnership that charts Cease and Desist Notices.
