Twitter has ALLEGEDLY begun censoring content and is hiding posts based on geography

So someone noticed that his attached pic of one of the pages of the leaked drone documents was unviewable in the US, but worked fine elsewhere. See his write-up here. Now others are coming forth and sharing similar stories with the hashtag #ItsOver. For it's part, twitter is claiming it was a one-time server issue (which could be possible, especially if it's a replication issue) but people have responded to that by saying twitter's timeline of server issues doesn't lineup to reality of people's posts going missing.

If this is true, and I emphasize if as this is currently unverified this would be a pretty major move on Twitter's part. I posted this here because I know some tech journalists read /r/technology and hopefully this gets some visibility so we can get some clarity on this. Self-post because it's unverified.
