Wikileaks says Twitter is censoring links to DNC leak emails (twitter.com/wikileaks)

Twitter has been censoring right-leaning political figures for the past few years. Is it any surprise that leaked emails, which makes many Democrats in the DNC look bad, would be censored as well?

Many people really don't care about censorship..until their point-of-view is marginalized, ignored, and silenced.

Normally, I would say it's just desserts, but it just shows many people's sad view of 'freedom'

Call me a cynic, but might this not simply be a ploy to get people to post lots of links to these documents? What other evidence do we have that links are being censored?

Maybe I've just been doing security analysis too long ...



Hmm.

In this particular field of human activity, I regard everything with deep suspicion. Oddly ironic, since before Snowdon I was less suspicious.


Agreed, but they didn't really say that. They only said people claim that... Not a Wikileaks verified statement.
