The move has prompted a growing number of users to organize under the hashtag #TwitterBlackout and pledge to boycott the service on January 28 by refusing to tweet. But these users are misguided — Twitter’s new policy is actually good for activists. For a number of reasons, Twitter’s new policy is a win for freedom of speech advocates.
