China Is Second Country To Applaud Twitter's New Stance On Censorship

Twitter announced last week that it would start withholding tweets on a country-by-country basis, at the request of specific governments. And although the company has yet to act on this new policy, two governments have already come out in favor of it. And neither of these governments are known for their freedom of speech.

Twitter says that if they do have to censor tweets, they will only do so in the country that requested the censorship – meaning the rest of Twitter will still be able to see the offending tweet or account.
