Good. More of this.

So, what, 150 people can't access TwitFace? Aside from the fact that this will have practically zero impact on TwitFace, it's the wrong way to go about it. I don't want my ISP blocking sites on my behalf. Period. I've never had a Facebook account. I dropped Twitter when it was clear the game was rigged against me. We need more people on the free speech train, and less on the censorship train.

Well, from the ISP prospective, it has less to do with censorship and more to do with making a stand! Let other ISP's cock-block those bastards, and let the Joe six-packs and Karens of the world dump their products like tea in a harbor, and they'll change their tune when it comes to taking on the President of the United States!

Your isp isn't taking a stand for you any more than nike or gillette is taking a stand for niggers or faggots. More likely this is related to some money deal or lawsuit that didn't go through and the censorship problem is just to sell the site block to their customers.

Cén fáth bodhraigh fiú ag iarraidh rudaí a bhac ar Leibhéal ISP? Tá a fhios ag fiú leanaí na laethanta seo conas bloic a sheachbhóthar sa bhaile nó ar scoil. Is leor íoslódáil simplí den fheidhmchlár "One dot" agus ní theastaíonn aon eolas teicniúil uaidh

@Nosferatjew Mar sin, dar leat, is rud maith é seo? Fána sleamhain nach eol duit? Aontaím go bhfuil éifeacht dhiúltach ag facebook agus twitter ar an tsochaí ach is ábhar é seo chun urlabhra agus cinsireacht a rialú

I thought motherfucker was one word?

Depends how you say it imo. I like to annunciate the two words separately, gives it more oomph.
