It started almost a while ago with them banning Guy Mclaren, then they banned posting made by myself and now this. Really, what is so great about a service that looks like a unfinished copy-cat of similar services. Now everybody is praising Newey for being a trend setter and thinking out of the box. Compared to Afrigator and Amatomu, Muti is still a kid in functionality and I hardly consider it of any value. The Source Mandy, this is nothing new from Neville Newey trying to play god.

I think this is coz of the fact that the collaborative nature of social media makes users feel like they are entitled to an exlanation of any censorship efforts. I do not know if they are indeed entitled to this. What do you think? Does this sense of togetherness between the enterprenuer and the users reduce the control the former has of a social site?
