My position on Twitter

News:
Reuters, CBS, and other outlets are reporting that Twitter is going to start censoring tweets in certain countries:

Twitter announced Thursday that it would begin restricting Tweets in certain countries, marking a policy shift for the social media platform that helped propel the popular uprisings recently sweeping across the Middle East.

And this quote is just tragic, as Twitter tries to rationlize away restrictions on speech:

“As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression,” Twitter wrote in a blog post published Thursday.

From the Middle East, to Occupy, to SOPA and PIPA, the importance of open platforms like Twitter couldn’t be more clear than it is today.

===============
My position: Ask these countries to block twitter altogether in their countries. Twitter was created in USA and is only answerable to US laws. Twitter cannot bend itself to the whims and vagaries of particular countries. Any particular country getting to use twitter is a matter of privilege, not a matter of right. Let them create their own social network or microblogging network, and then censor or control that! Twitter should stand by its principles that it is answerable only to the laws of the USA. Thats what I would do if I were twitter. Its not the obligation of Twitter to ‘police’ itself and its content. That is too big of time money and effort expenditure for an operation of that size. Individual governments who still want twitter in their countries (without blocking it in totem) should take care to block particular pages that they deem as violations of free speech as in their country and local jurisdiction. Creators controllers. Others cannot have access to controlling or censoring it. Such speech is still legal elsewhere.

Also, all I exercied my right to speech was at home – speaking to self and family at home. I didnt exactly go out and organize meetings – I am not political activist. I dont have time for that. This is just normal speech criticizing particular political leaders which you talk at home with family and friends. Speech uttered with reasonable expectation of privacy. (speaking to self before mirror) That would otherwise have gone undetected by RAW (to be used against you) because you are a nobody. The only reason RAW got to know of this is because of the eyecam put in place by America/UK.

My position on allowing RAW access to my eyecam feed in realtime: big mistake. RAW must pay money to USA for being allowed access to my eyecam feed. Normaly I would have slipped through undetected (atleast I would still have a penis) if RAW were not able to watch what I was doing and passing messages to my local enemies. I wrote about useless politicians in New Delhi (President,MLA,MP etc.) hiking their salaries several times while to make good the revenue shortfall, they are raising bus ticket prices and tax. For the kind of results these politicians have shown so far, they are not eligible for single rupee hike. This is perfectly normal dissent speech, but after I wrote this, RAW passed the message to local enemies who broke into my house and emasculated and vasectomized me. America made a huge mistake by showing RAW what I was doing anytime (‘engappan kudirukkulle illai’ story). The best avengement is to put likewise eyecams on Indian parasites in the US and UK and watch their every move and vindicate/preemptively deny them any particular life advancement opportunity (like employment, scholarship etc.) before they get it.

********************

I just removed my resume from Naukri since it is extremely clear that they goddamn Indian bastards are not going to let me go. The latest phone call was from a ‘contract to hire!’ position in ‘Mahindra satyam’. which is clear that hiddenly they are saying ‘we will not let you go’. Because mahindra satyam was the one that prevented me from going to London when I had a good opportunity to go to London as Java Architect. Also note that, Mahindra Satyam doesnt have any US projects and is not in the Consulate’s dropbox programme.
