So much for the free-wheeling, libertarian reputation of Twitter. The company announced Thursday that it could start censoring certain content in certain countries, a sort of micro-censorship widget that would pop up up in a grey box on the Twitter feed.
“Tweet withheld,” it would read “This tweet from @username has been withheld in: Country.”

The Internets are achanging. You can feel the trend. One supposes it had to happen sometime, but what a glorious, richly colored world of freedom it was during the Internet's first years. I am so glad I got in on it while it lasted, and maybe we have some years left before the Internet is toned down to the bland level of network television.
