I am disgusted by the "twitterati" in this case. What happened off the coast of Gaza is likely to very significant, and "we" get all puffed up yelling bloody censorship over what is very likely to be a technical fluke. The story is highly publicized in mainstream media. It's wide open. Whoever allegedly decided that censoring a topic from trending on Twitter would matter even the slightest is too stupid to have a job at Twitter with access to do that.

What confounds me is that we have people saying they'd rather not see discussions on this event on HN due to its political nature, and yet the Everybody Draw Muhammed Day post two weeks ago was quite lively. I mean, geez, people died on that boat and commenters are more interested in some sidebar widget in Twitter?
