Iran/twitter

[maevele]

It's pretty obvious the only strong source of information in Iran right now is twitterers. This is the only way people in the middle of the struggle are getting heard.

and twitters scheduled maintenance is tonight at 9;45. which will silence the dissent out of Iran.

Twitter is aware, but this is up to their service provider.

This is me not knowing what else to do.

The maintenance has been cancelled.

Rescheduled actually, last time I heard -- for peak daytime in the U.S. and thus middle of the night in Iran, which is an f'ing gutsy move by them.

Indeed, but not at the start of the workday-meant-to-be-a-strike-day in Iran which is what matters. Good on NTT for recognizing the gravity of the situation.
