The ramifications , to us US citizen , are selfishly small but could mark off as the tipping point when other nation start to take control of Twitter in their countries . The accounts in question ( namelyLeiSecaRJ ) use Twitter to publicly partake the localisation of radar and DUI checkpoint so mass follow the account ( near 300,000 twitterer ) can avoid such stops . Brazil is predictably unhappy with such report because of their use in avoiding the police force ( and maybe further driving while drinking ) and has sued Twitter and the account for a $ 290,000 / daily amercement .
Twitter has n’t yet responded to the lawsuit but this difference with Brazil might very well be the first domino to fall in Twitter’snew censoring policy.[O GloboviaThe Next Web ]
