Twitter isn't Censoring You. Your Government is.
It’s barely been a day since Twitter made the announcement that, going forward, tweets could be censored based on the local laws that govern a user’s location, and the rumour mill is hard at work trying to figure out the reasons behind the decision. At the same time, many Twitter users are calling for a Twitter Blackout on January 28, vowing to keep Twitter quiet tomorrow. While Twitter cited the example of the ban of pro-Nazi content in Germany and France, could there be more to it than meets the eye? Why is Twitter doing this? Taking a look at the hashtag, #TwitterCensored, a lot of fingers were very quick to point straight at the recent investment by Saudi Prince, Alwaleed bin Talal, without considering the fact that his stake in the company is a mere 3%. One possible reason is that Twitter has been consistently targeted by governments for allowing what is considered “illegal” content to be shared via the site. Does this affect activists?

Se nalguma coisa a narrativa austeritária tem sido singularmente bem sucedida, é a disseminar e explorar o mito de que os países da periferia europeia viveriam acima das suas possibilidades por os seus trabalhadores trabalharem de menos e terem regalias a mais. Esta visão hegemónica foi abundantemente vendida aos eleitorados e opiniões públicas dos países do centro europeu, claro, mas tem também exercido grande influência na própria periferia. Acontece que é, simplesmente, mentira. Este post publicado no blogue da Real World Economics Review, que tem por base um exercício anterior de Kash Mansori, reúne cinco tabelas que mostram isso muito bem. É um conjunto de indicadores a que nós e outros já nos temos referido, mas que aqui se encontram convenientemente reunidos e resumem a questão de forma cristalina. As figuras falam por si, mostrando que, de uma forma geral, os trabalhadores da periferia europeia… 1) trabalham mais horas; Mais do que uma crise, é um gigantesco roubo.
The Connected Company › The connected customer
In September of 2011, Bank of America announced it would start charging customers $5 per month to shop with their debit cards. In early October a 27-year-old gallery owner in Los Angeles named Kristen Christian set up a Facebook event page, inviting 500 of her Facebook friends to move their accounts to local credit unions by November 5, which she called “Bank Transfer Day.” “Together we can ensure that these banking institutions will always remember the 5th of November,” she wrote. “If we shift our funds from the for-profit banking institutions in favor of not-for-profit credit unions before this date, we will send a clear message that conscious consumers won’t support companies with unethical business practices.” Christian’s groundswell movement quickly snowballed. “I was tired” wrote Christian in another post. By November 4, the day before Bank transfer Day, at least 650,000 people had added $4.5 billion to credit union savings accounts. A power shift. 95 theses. There are no secrets.
