Pakistan blocked Twitter today because Twitter refused to remove tweets referencing a Mohammed image competition. Facebook caved to the censorship demands. It’s time to stop cowering in fear as a deluded form of “tolerance” and “appeasement.” Reaction to Pakistan’s free speech quashing move is not good, of course and the people of Pakistan are trying to bypass the ban.
