Twitter made an important announcement this week regarding their ability to filter content across jurisdictions. The ensuing conspiracy theories and hand-wringing in certain corners of the internet were depressingly predictable, and as I tweeted this morning:

But posting such a thing without laying out “things you should know about doing business online” is, frankly, smug and irritating. So, here goes.
