Use Twitter to sabotage Iran’s ‘net police

Feeling subversive? This was just sent to me:

” If anyone is on twitter, set your location to Tehran and your time zone to GMT +3.30. 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 Iranians’ access to the internet down. Cut & paste & please pass it on….(no idea if this is valid, but can’t hurt…)”

How about throwing a spanner in the works?

The Revolution Will Be Twitterized

It seems that Twitter has finally found its niche, beyond allowing people to broadcast their bowel movements: as a perfect tool of political dissent.

As we speak, the hash tag #iranelection is atweet (new word there) with proxy IP addresses used to bypass Iran’s current post-election ‘net blackout. It would seem that state censorship just isn’t as easy as it used to be.
