This screen shot shows a portion of the Twitter blog post of Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, in which the company announced it has refined its technology so it can censor messages on a country-by-country basis. The additional flexibility is likely to raise fears that Twitter's commitment to free speech may be weakening as the short-messaging company expands into new countries in an attempt to broaden its audience and make more money. But Twitter sees the censorship tool as a way to ensure individual messages, or 'tweets,' remain available to as many people as possible while it navigates a gauntlet of different laws around the world. (AP Photo/Twitter)AP - Bloggers and activists from China, the Middle East and Latin America said Friday they were afraid that new Twitter policies could allow governments to censor messages, stifling free expression.

Theodore Walker)ContributorNetwork - As the 3 o’clock bell tolled at the Ferry Building on Saturday afternoon, a mob of fedora-fitted people rushed to the center of the plaza on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. As they rushed towards a solitary female, outfitted in the style of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, they began to move to the sounds of “Beat It” with slick choreography.

All the dancers whirled and mimed the gestures that made Michael Jackson one of the most recognized entertainers in the world. Hands shot up in sync to timed musical jabs, and they were all very happy in their element of expression.
