I thought the internet rules issue for the House of Representatives might be dying down when Rep. Capuano<\/strong> issued a heated denial <\/a>of intending to censor or restrict access to social media. Unfortunately, that denial contrasts 180 degrees with what Rep. Culberson<\/a><\/strong> claimed was said by Capuano\u00a0at a meeting <\/a>on the subject:<\/p>\n

“Cong Capuano confirmed to me today that rule will limit Member video posts to approved sites w approved content w disclaimer &\u00a0\u00a0He said text\/blogs\/Twitter social media sites next. My analysis correct: we could only post approved content on approved sites w disclaimer Twitter would be prohibited to Congressmen because We the People are free to post political comments recommending who to vote for or against”<\/strong><\/p>\n
