The yearnings for freedom of expression have been highlighted by the Arab Spring uprisings and by the mobilizations and disputes involving the new information technologies – in 2012, the United Nations started to consider Internet access as a Human Right. But censorship remains a problem in several countries. How to call people’s attention to the subject in this new era of online activism? Amnesty International, in partnership with DM9Rio, launches Censored Tweet.
It is a mechanism in which people can tweet black bars of censorship, as if the tweets were being banned in your timeline. At the end of “censored tweet” there will be a non-identified link encouraging followers to click and unravel the action. That will also invite internet users to join the movement by creating their own “censored tweets” automatically. The concept is: “In many countries, this is what happens to those who try to express themselves.”
The project’s page is available in five different languages and automatically recognizes the country where it is being accessed from.
