Dear visitor,
this post formerly contained a list of Iranian twitterers. After protests and fears for the twitterers’ safety I have decided to take it down.

To any protestors in Iran who might read this: Tens of thousands of Americans support you.
Please know that 1,000’s of us in America are with you, in the streets, in the darkness, in the fight. We are with you, in your fear, in your courage. We are with you in our prayers. You are with us in our hearts. Know this, we hear you. We will not forget you.
We are with you here, today and always. Protestors, don’t give up! You have support in America, just as you have support all over the world. We know what’s happening, we see your struggle, and we’re listening.
I’ve collected all of these into one Auto Updating FriendFeed http://friendfeed.com/iran-primary-sources
Keep fighting my Iranian mates, many here in Australia support your cause, your fight for freedom, my prayers are with and for you all.

Much love and respect to the people in Iran who aren’t afraid to do this!!!!
Fight the fight, fight the good fight!
Love and respect from The Netherlands!!
We built this Twitter Directory for the people of Iran. We also used some of your ID’s in the blog post to populate it. http://freeiran.floxee.com
Please REMOVE these twitter usernames ASAP! The Iranians asked that their usernames are not shared freely!
Remember, it is a matter of life and death for these people!
Note that CNN agreed to cease posting twitter usernames on TV because they received so many complaints about it. Thank you for understanding and thank you for your help.
Twitter people in Iran are getting tracked down and arrested. Can you please take down this list?
if you don’t want to endanger the lives of these iranian twitterers, i suggest you remove the names. they are being tracked down and arrested.
YOU NEED TO TAKE THE LIST DOWN OR YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE IF THESE PEOPLE GET ARRESTED AND TORTURED OR EVEN KILLED!!! THIS IS NO FUN! THIS IS REAL LIFE!
THERE ARE PEOPLE KILLED IN REAL LIFE!!! FOR BEING ACTIVISTS!
TAKE IT DOWN!!! PLEASE
THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU!
IT IS ABOUT THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE!!!
PLEASE TAKE IT DOWN!!!
THERE ARE FULL NAMES OF PEOPLE IN THERE!
YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF THEY GET KILLED!!!
Guys, let me say this a last time:
These people are posting publicly. Anybody can see what they do. All I’ve done is to collect publicly available data here.
I’m not revealing any secrets. Anybody with a few moments of spare time could do this.
Yes, I am concerned with these people’s safety. That’s why I respect their privacy – I do not reveal any information not publicly available, and I have deleted all accounts set to “private” on twitter off this list.
So please stop spamming this blog with calls for a take down. It just reveals your total lack of understanding of how the internet & social media work.
You HAVE to take this list down!!!
You will help to get these people killed!
PLEASE take this down ASAP!
You couldn’t be more wrong…or obtuse and self-absorbed…
du musst die liste unbedingt entfernen!
das ist kein menschenrechtsaktivismus!
du gefährdest das leben von menschen!
die iranischen twitterer bitten darum, dass wir alle die zeitzone und location auf iran setzen, damit sie nicht vom geheimdienst gefunden werden und du publizierst das hier fröhlich im internet?!
du MUSST den post UNBEDINGT löschen!
This is an open letter to those that repress Freedom. You time has come to an end. You still have a choice. Join us. We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. Freedom is not a “Western Influence” Human Rights are not a “Western Ideal”. This is the dawning of a new era. You live in a time when people are afraid of their government. They live in a time when the government is afraid of the people. If you choose to ignore this offer than you shall face the consequences in front of your country, in front of your wife, in front of your sister, in front of your daughter.

Israel and USA are working to destroy the Iranian peoples revolution of 1979. CIA created the evil government of the sha in 1956 and they are doing it again!
Resist the New World Order and support the government of Iran against the CIA and Mossad
Spread the word
Potesting the Iran election results takes courage. Keep up the inspirational protests. Hopefully the current powers that be in Iran will take note of the wonderful effects of freedom.
the people of Iran will not be quiet any longer they have been repressed for to long i hope that the people of Iran can gain the freedoms they deserve god bless all
God Bless the freedom fighters in Iran, and all over the world those that are supporting you. God does not need the Ayatollah to persecute people for Him. Freedom is not free and you are paying the price by standing up.
We are with you in our prayers.
You are brave.
We want freedom too but we’re losing it.
We would love to join you.
Stay strong.
To the people in Iran, people in the USA do care what is happening in Iran. We are praying for your freedom and hopefully one day we can truley become friends. Unfortunately we have a weak President who will not stick out his neck to help the freedom that you want so badly. His whole agenda is to please all Middle East governemts in the world and not have aconcern for you as freedom fighters. Do not for one moment think that the US will help with Obama in office. He will see you fail and not lift a hand. That is a liberal for you. On the other side, Conservatives are talking about your situation and praying that you can take control. With a new leader, then maybe we can start peaceful talks.
Obama has been silent and will stay that way till you fail.
God Bless you.
Stay strong and Fight On!
People of Iran follow the principal of Mohandas Gandhi and you shall reap what you sow from LOVE. My heart is there for you all.
Some Quotes he said.
“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”
“All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.”
“A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. ”
“For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.”
“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
“Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.”
“Be the change that you want to see in the world.”
“A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.”
“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”
she died in the streets a martyr for the freedom that we all fight for. we should have the rights as humans we deserve. regardless of race religion or gender.
where is my freedom?
Tutta la mia solidarietà per il popolo insorto dell’iran contro quel pazzo criminale e assassino di Almadineijad.

America gained freedom in 1776. It has to be won on your own if you are grown enough to handle it. If you cannot win freedom then you do not deserve it. Will you fight hard enough? Is freedom that important to you, that you will not stop or cower to those repressing you?
Iraq is being given freedom by America. This is bad. Freedom must be fought for and won if you are to be able to keep it alive.
Tell me how displaying twitter aliases gives the Iranian government more info than what they can see for themselves?
Taking down this list — which buy the way was already copied and abundantly circulated — was possible the most juvenile reaction to the self-made hype of the non-Iranian Twitter “revolutionaries,” who wish to heighten their mystique and force a sense of community by inventing pointless norms and forms of policing. They also eliminate any possibility of truly locating the source of information in that echo chamber, something that one would think would have been of paramount concern to a real journalist. However, the BBC from very early on — too early — decided that false and unverifiable sources of information would be the “true” ones, as an intended act of subversion against the Iranian regime. Even the allegation that PRESS TV was inaccessible, and thus could not be consulted for balance, was false, and I immediately verified that claim as soon as this post was published.
PS: The Iranian state is excellent at tracing the source of all Iranian tweets, rest assured, and they can certainly track the identities of the original posters in Twitters just like any of its users.
We Americans stand with you against the oppressors in Iran. Your courage and convictions are duly noted and will never be forgotten.
