ROME - "The Egypt," sang Sinatra a few years ago. A song that tells the violence of man by man, from its title and content prophetic in light of the facts of today. That without the internet and social networks, perhaps would never have occurred. So after the flight of Mubarak, to "The Egypt" are the people of Iran.
And they do like the revolutionaries in Cairo, trying to organize and manage the protests from the web, a phenomenon that the schemes try to nip in the bud, by limiting or eliminating all access to the Net Iran, the square on the web. The protests of 2011 are new generation, as if the images and make them real.
I'm at the point of pushing the U.S. State Department to communicate with the people involved through Twitter, asking governments to allow the use of internet to the people as a means of organizing the demonstrations. And 'the U.S. State Department, through the account "USAdarFarsi" to say "conscious of the historic role" played by social networks so far in the protests.
The U.S. is sending messages to the Iranians on Sunday, openly attacking the scheme: Amadinejhad is described as hypocritical because the U.S., Egypt would support the motion only in words, while trying to stifle the events taking place in Iran in support of popular uprisings in the Middle East.
The latest 'tweet' arrived almost simultaneously with the first reports from Tehran on the clashes between police and demonstrators: Washington urged Tehran to allow "people who enjoy the same universal rights to assemble peacefully and demonstrate how to Cairo ". Social net-world. On the Facebook page "Free Iran" is one of the possible flow of information about what happens in Tehran and Shiraz.
Tales from the square and multimedia contributions, just as happened at the beginning of the demonstrations in Egypt. Messages like "It 's a good start" and video that show riot police disperse protesters with gas. The videos and news are made from Freedomessenger. com, an aggregator of complaints against the Iranian government in Tehran.
On Twitter, IranFB is one of the most significant sources of updates, with links to YouTube and bloggers who follow the events. In "hashtags" of news, the keywords identified by the "#" are starting to understand that the argument, often next to "Iran" reads "Egypt" and "Tunisia." How to mean that the Iranian protest is the logical continuation of what happened in those countries.
From Web to the world. The Internet is also used as a bank by traditional media. The TV station Al Jazeera has published on its website the news of gunfire heard in central Tehran, where they are being anti-government demonstrations. In turn, the news came from the Facebook page used to organize demonstrations.
Still on Facebook and Twitter, messages have been published that the Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi and his wife Zahra Rahnavard took to the streets to join the protesters. At the same time, the site of the opposition Kalem. com reported that Mussa and his wife were now placed in isolation in their home.
Conflicting reports that allow a glimpse of how the misinformation, intentional or accidental, filters easily even on the Net
