Fight Oppression!

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 23, 2009, 7:35 AM
If you're on Twitter, set your location to Tehran & your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut down Iranians' access to the internet. Cut & paste & pass it on.

Glad it worked out for you, finally! I have a twitter account but don’t use it too often. I prefer blogging on livejournal, I’m too long winded for twitter!

I mainly blog here on DA, and use LJ for occasional items. I only joined Twitter for Iran.

This is really interesting. My dad recently attended a conference about internet warfare/terrorism type stuff, and is studying about the ethical issues and technology differences between countries (I wish I could explain that better, but that's all he could tell me about it), so it's really interesting to hear about this happening.

Is this really true? I mean, if there's some indication that it's actually true, I'll do it, but I've fallen into a lot of internet panics for no reason.
