You can't stop the signal
If you don't know what's going on in Iran right now (and there's a decent chance you don't, since the mainstream media seems to be reporting about it reluctantly), there are massive protests against the re-election of Ahmadinejad. Early on, many of the protests were being violently suppressed. But since many brave Iranians began taking video (often on cellphones) and sending it out into the internet, much of the violence has stopped. I read The Daily Dish regularly and they are covering the story extensively. The most amazing thing is that with the amount of censorship the Iranian government has put forth, people are still struggling to get the story out. With access to many websites blocked, people are using Twitter to get the news out. This is pretty incredible, not just because it's how democracy starts. It's because even the simplest of technology is capable of forcing the world to sit up and take notice. We are moving toward a more honest, transparent world. That must scare the shit out of a lot of people, but I can't wait.
