As already announced in January, Twitter has ability to censor the accounts locally con el fin de respetar las peculiaridades específicas de las culturas locales de cada país.
He argues that, When you receive request for a “entity authorized” a country, can close the access to the contents of a specific account for the users of that particular country, maintaining visibility to the rest the world.
That's what I just did with German Account group “Better Hanover” of Neo-Nazi ideology, after receiving the request from Twitter Policía de Hannover for him to block the account of this group for their racist. The account has been locked and is inaccessible from Germany, aunque se puede acceder a la misma desde el resto de países.
However, is not the first time Twitter blocks content that an account, as during the Olympics temporarily suspended account Guy Adams, newspaper correspondent “The Independent” by post to his Twitter account the email address of the president of NBC Olimpics, for Internet policy could protest NBC's delayed broadcast Olympic events of interest to U.S. citizens. con el fin de ajustarlas a las horas de máxima audiencia.
There are many questions generated by Twitter censorship policy, especially regarding what is meant by “entity authorized”.
The company responds by ensuring that the process will always be transparent and that the closure will be preceded by a notice to the account holder.
