Smart. Honestly, every country should ban Twitter and Facebook. They are a net negative; this century's version of tobacco companies. Arguably worse, as they are a cancer on the entire discourse and well being of society writ large.

Do you have any alternative platform where people that genuinely feel oppressed can call for help or even assemble themselves.
Not everything about Twitter is good, but, for countries at the verge of losing their right to free speech, access to twitter proves essential until there's a better alternative.

Yes, it's called the Web. It's a somewhat decentralized platform where people can publish websites. With some effort, it's not too hard to escape local government censorship on it.

You are aware that the government you are applauding censors access to other portions of the Web too, yes? Or do you think *.twitter.com is magically the first?
