Chinese Launches Communist Version of Twitter

Posted on December 15, 2010 by Ernie

Via Mashable: China Launches Communist Version of Twitter. And what do you know – I was able to get a sneak peak at some of the code.  Just check out line 182 in particular:  if (TWEET==’TAIWAN’) { user.imprison(); }  Wow. You’d think they’ve have a better job encrypting their Javascript, it being a nation of a couple billion and all.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
