> 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?)
> 
> Take care,
