Hi everyone,
I'm sure someone would be posting on this - so why not get the ball rolling: The election seems to have been stolen, protests are massive,disinformation abounds, and the country plans a massive strike on Tuesday. Iran is one of the most well connected countries in the blogosphere, as far as I know and CNN got twitter-bombed by Iranians, and there was a mysterious communications blackout on the day of the election.
I highly suspect that the present Iranian government is doing everything in their power to limit the communication power of the dissident citizens. But I also suspect that it won't be enough - that merely having the network which binds people together taken away from them will incite further protests and civil disobedience.
So - what to make of it all? Thoughts from anyone? (John Kelly - can you back me up on the Iranian blogosphere, or am I just reciting a myth?)
