Internet Ego "CN4Iran" Circumvents Chinese Block to Support Iran
Total Scope of Motive Unknown
Lalate has posted an article on Twitter titled "CN4Iran #CN4Iran on Twitter!"
Apparently CN4Iran was extremely active last night (Saturday) on these sites. However today (Sunday) CN4Iran has been extremely active on Twitter.
What does CN4Iran do?
CN4Iran its own efforts and name as a "symbol of struggles for both Chinese and Iranians."
CN4Iran included a self-congratulatory post: "#cniran is a trending topic to your right. That's despite twitter being banned in China. Very nice."
It promises a better world; it indicates there are many, many Chinese supporting Iran and also tired of the current situation in China.
However there is a war and demonstrations where high-profile people are being killed.
The actual news then is the fact that people are able to get beyond the "roadblock" set up by China.
However, is that really the news?
China is not going to allow this "leakage" to continue. Further you know that Russia and the United States for that matter is watching the fallout of this situation.
The administration in our own country has suggested that the President have the right to shut down the internet in the "time of emergency." The problem is what constitutes "a time of emergency?" Is it when there is disagreement with the President over policies? Could it be used to defer and delay or even omit information?
The role of the internet in the world is far from defined. Of course it can be used for a lot of good and it can be used to get information to everyone who needs it.
Unfortunately as the role of the internet evolves there may be times where the impact on citizens of the world may be negative.
The fact is that governments in every country tend to be a little paranoid anyway so the internet may cause thinking we would rather not see.
