[governance] Caution on Twitter urged as tourists barred from US

[Cave, Jonathan]

Because they can. And not just US government (ACTA, anyone?) - does it matter whether the justification is terrorism or IPR? In my view, it only matters if tests of proportionality and efficacy can be applied, and passed. None of the govenments falling ove themselves to ratify ACTA seem too concerned about either.

I think most people are missing the point here. The fact that Homeland Security is monitoring tweets of anyone and everyone is very scary to me. The fact that they reacted poorly to foreign slang is a minor issue. Why are the monitoring tweets in the first place?
