This article is high on emotion, but low on thoughtful commentary or substance. Of course nobody likes censorship, but citizens of these countries are already subject to it, and the technical problems here are purely hypothetical. In describing "what could happen," they seem to be taking the worst-case scenario — what would happen if both the programmers at Twitter and the professionals who use it for their business were in fact rabid howler monkeys — and then twisting it to make it look even worse. In the end, the only part of the article that doesn't seem disingenuous is the emotion, and that is not particularly enlightening.
