Twitter is an opposition weapon

Despite the government’s ban on covering opposition protests in Iran after the June 12 elections, information about events in the country, photos and even video clips will still be made public. And with maximum efficiency. And the main merit in this belongs to Twitter.

The Iranian authorities have banned journalists from filming opposition stocks, limited telecommunications (there are interruptions in the work of cellular operators), jamming (according to the BBC) satellite broadcast channels. And, most importantly, access to such sites as the Twiitter microblogging service, the Facebook social network, YouTube video hosting, etc. is denied.

But the complete blockade still did not work. Apparently, there are clever and clever people in the country of Iran, who quickly find new proxy servers (to replace permanently blocked ones) to access closed sites. Twitter's Iranian microblogs are working in full swing: every minute more than 70 posts appear with the tag of Iran elections (elections in Iran). Here you have information and links to the video. It is also interesting that Twitter has practically become a platform where opposition members negotiate new actions and campaign. Up to calls for DDoS attacks on government sites.

Twitter is a revolutionary service. In the literal sense of the word.
