    In a heartbeat. America will gain a very talented professional if he has a chance to come here.

    The only problem is the Sweden deal is real and the other thing about Mr Trump is fake news.

    they're not blocking hate speech for ****'s sake. The government is blocking anyone that doesn't go with the status quo. How many times do I have to say this in this thread?

    btw I wasn't referring to Trump

    Btw, in your link it says Sweden has reversed itself and apologized. So, crisis averted. Though I honestly still don't see the problem, even if there's nothing but saints on the block list. But, I'm not a twitter user, so maybe I don't understand the mechanics here. As I understand it, Sweden has an official twitter account that they pass around to normal everyday Swedes and they can say what they like and people can respond back. But, they found that, like all things internet, this resulted in their 'curators' being harassed with inappropriate responses. Their solution to protect the curators and make this a fun experience was to block all the people who might say inappropriate things so the curator doesn't have to read their crap. They can still say it, and the rest of the world can still see it, but the curator wouldn't see it in the official twitter feed. As it turns out, some to many of the people on the list were respectable persons of some stripe talking about respectable topics, but perhaps not conversations Sweden wants to see their everyday-folk curators handling. But, because these people are respectable, blocking is frowned upon. It would seem to me the logical next step is to end the program of passing the official twitter account around. Free speech wins again.

    Guys, he used bigger font on that last post, so I'm starting to take him seriously. This isn't a manufacturing story for crying out loud.

    If he goes all caps and repeats it again, I think I'll have to apologise for not taking him seriously before.

    I've been to Sweden a few times over the years, Junior. Have you? Do your parents ever let you out? The naive fellow here is you. The country has an advanced civilization, highly educated, wealthy, with a long policy of neutrality that is being threatened by your man's best friend, Russia. They have a free press and a highly functioning democracy.

    Sweden also has a whole bunch of beautiful women and tall, striking men. Perhaps when you reach puberty, you'll become interested in such things.

    And?

    So you can't post anything you want on a twitter feed? What's the big deal here?
