[Noisebridge-discuss] DEAD AIR

[Doctor Popular]

When you say "Twitter has personally censored some of my tweets" do
you have anything to support it? Is it possible that many of the
retweets are just from spambots that just got shut down or that maybe
the retweets are still there, but can't be seen?

I just ask because I have yet to see any evidence of Twitter actively
censoring tweets, especially for something like OWS.
