Twittering in Tehran
MrBlu:
Done.
supersheep:
Yeah, that's what I thought OWW. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if this was an Iranian government idea - make getting the news out more difficult, that sorta thing.
As for Iranians not knowing how to use proxies, that sounds a little offensive to me. It's not like using a proxy is all that difficult, you know. There's quite a lot of stuff going on that's fairly technically advanced, and I'm sure that most of the people still getting the news out have got some safety stuff sussed.
Luke C:
Well it was a nice idea. Khars thoughts that it is a gesture of solidarity is a good one still though.

Yeah, Iran actually has a pretty good percentage of citizens who have attained higher education, and they have a decent university system. On top of that, the Iranian authorities have been raiding universities and beating the students who live in the dorms for no reason, pretty much ensuring that the students side with Mousavi.

I never said Iran wasn't advanced enough, nor that the people are ignorant. I'm no damn fool. I'm just not exactly trusting the Iranian government to not censor that kind of stuff out of everything.
