I still don't understand how Twitter operates in other countries. It's accessible because it's a part of the world wide web. When people use Twitter are they not reaching out to the servers located in America?

How nice, a government that puts criminal penalties on it's citizens reading the (according to them) wrong things. Banning technologies like VPNs.
