This new EFF website draws attention to social media censorship

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has been focusing a lot more on privacy and security issues following the Snowden leaks, but the organization is directing more of its attention towards censorship and content control. Earlier this week, the EFF launched a new website that it hopes will be able to create a user-generated database of the content that social networks like Facebook and Twitter decide to censor. It’s important to draw attention to this censorship, because while these social networks may have an ethical obligation to keep censorship to a bare minimum, they don’t have a legal one, which means it’s up to the people to try and change things.
