Are Twitter Users Being Censored or ‘Muted’?

On a call this morning with speakers from the Social Media 201 conference, a concern was brought up that some user accounts with large numbers of followers have been suspended from Twitter for no apparent reason.  Evidently still more users have been “muted” so that their posts don’t show up.  Is Twitter censoring it’s members?  Or is this just a glitch in the system?

If this is true, there could be a max exodus of users from Twitter – opening the door for the next big thing.  Will more people evacuate to Google Buzz or other platforms?
