To me, both the effects of and responses to Mr. Ahmed's tweets seem to show that Twitter can be used to promote change and get your voice to the masses. It just doesn't distinguish between "good" change/voices and "bad" change/voices.

Wouldn't trying to remain anonymous as a journalist be rather ineffective?

yes, i would lose my audience too that i have built over ten years.

As a US Citizen who has had their twitter posts censored, I consider myself to be a critic of the US Government who has been effectively silenced. At a certain point you have to decide whether you are willing to die for your cause, or live with your shame.

> I feel Twitter should have protected me, instead of protecting the henchmen of a facist regime bent upon silencing critics.

The West no longer deserves its reputation for fighting fascists. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Sympathies to you, man.

Twitter is such a cacophony, like trying to have a conversation in the middle of a rock concert. I get better quality information and news from Hacker News.
