So they will publish the tweets they censor, eh? Idea:

1. Check the list. Get @username and text of censored tweet.

2. Mirror the tweet.

3. Lookup followers of @username

4. Send followers a tweet with link to censored tweet of the @user.

This will start an arms race. Twitter will censor all tweets which link to websites in (2), and start censoring all tweets from users who do (4). Solution:

2. Make Wordpress plugin which mirrors censored list on people's blog. Encourage wordpress users to install this plugin.

4. Encourage twitter users to authorize you to use their accounts to retweet links to censored tweets.
