China deports Twitter user for livestreaming Olympics protest
Activist Twitterer noneck (aka Noel Hidalgo) was in Tiananmen Square on Saturday for a free-Tibet protest.

He's one of 28 activists bounced from China during the Olympics, but the only one who documented his actions live, with over 30,000 views.
