"Enfin, et c'est le point le plus polémique, la liste noire confidentielle gérée par cinq personnes de la BKA et supervisée par un délégué national à la protection des données privées ne sera contrôlée par personne d'autre.

I was commenting on the reference to twitter in the post here :-)
I was commenting on the revolution overall, not Nokia Twitter filters :)
