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.

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.
