Both twitter and Facebook are doing a great job of betraying their proclaimed purposes and becoming arbiters of what people can and can't see on the internet.

Both twitter and Facebook are doing a great job of betraying their proclaimed purposes and becoming arbiters of what people can and can't see on the internet. That seems pretty orwellian/dystopian and is very similar to what goes on in communist China, where the government shuts down websites all the time for showing things that the CCP doesn't want people to see. :(
