Iran: Activism and Social Media

16 June 2009

ABC News Online has just launched a special feature with coverage of the political unrest in Iran and how social media tools like Flickr, Youtube and Twitter are being used to broadcast eyewitness reports of violence and protests.  But internet users and activists in the country say that the government is blocking access to these kind of sites and disrupting transmission of SMS text messages.  There’s more at ABC News Online, including integration of twitter and flickr streams.
