EFF: "What Does Twitter’s Country-by-Country Takedown System Mean for Freedom of Expression?"
An explainer from Eva Galperin at the Electronic Frontier Foundation on Twitter’s “country-based tweet takedown” news.
The key point here, which has been missing in much of the initial coverage, is that the policy announcement is specifically related to the company’s global expansion: Twitter is opening offices in more countries around the world. A US-based company doesn’t “have to” censor speech according to any other country’s laws, but the scenario is quite different for a company opening offices and placing employees within foreign borders.
