As long as companies like Twitter are openly embracing country specific censorship I don't see this happening anytime soon. Just looking at the recent developments - Megaupload, Google Profiling and Twitter's new found love for Censoring doesn't make me hopeful that Tech companies will stand up for the interests of their users.

As I understand it, they are just complying with local laws (regardless of the morality of the law). This says nothing about lobbying to change the current laws, or create new ones.
