Bless my Tweet

Twitterers are all, of course, atwitter at Twitter over the freedom to tweet.  Huh?  Maybe it will make sense to you, but it seems to me that Twitter, to maximize its profits, will conform with any national government's request to systematically "hold those tweets."

Nations, even the foulest of dictatorships, are just markets.  If Twitter is not in or is ejected from a market, someone else will enter and garner what would otherwise have been Twitter's profits.  At times, it seems like it's Twitter ( or any other company of your choice) Uber Alles for maximization of profits today and tomorrow.  Damn, is the Chinese market really lebensraum for tweets?
