If Obama does this, If he stifles this form of freedom and free speech, he is a complete fool. Twitter may very well have SAVED LIVES these past few weeks and there are some that would want to stifle that? Pitiful.

Keep the pressure up. The people in totalitarian countries need the internet to advance the cause of freedom.
