Twitter Censorship

You would think the two big news items today would be trending on Twitter.

Nope not anymore. Getting used to more and more censorship.

self imposed censorship, did you forget to put your glasses on.

#PrayForBerlin
#BerlinAttack
#Turkey

are all trending.

Pretty much all the trending items in the top 20 here are related to it. Think you're looking for a problem that isn't there.

Sex change and a tan?

Heh, really doesn't take much to trend on Twitter.

You can change the location of the trends to be more local.

A bit to hard to censor something already in the headlines on every major news outlet.

Glaucus · 20 Dec 2016 at 00:10

in that case i'm going to have a guess, that you know. Not enough people from the uk have used the hashtag and thus isn't in your trend list.

The OP isn't going mad.

The top 2 TT's on Twitter for me (UK) are currently #TOWIE and #FirstDates. The events in germany are nowhere to be seen.

Only because he went mad a long time ago....

I think that's more to do with broken Britain than Twitter censorship...

That's down to your trends location settings. Twitter tends to show you trending items based on your interactions.

It's number 9 on my UK list.

Nah, #UniversityChallenge is 6th.

'United Kingdom Trends' seem well behind for me. 'Merkel' and 'Berlin Christmas Markets' are trending when I go to specific UK city locations.

I don't think there is anything sinister going on.

That's my point, people just don't understand how Twitter works.

There's no censorship.
