iran- how to help
Options
So unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, then you know about what's going on with the election results. being an iranian in the states, i was unbelievably frustrated at not being able to do anything to help them overseas.
because all reporters are being either arrested, deported, or sanctioned, its becoming increasingly difficult for the international media to follow what's going on so cnn has been relying on social websites like facebook, twitter, and youtube to get their information. There are two things that i have found so far that help the cause are as follows:
1)Do you twitter? Change your twitter location to any city in Iran. If all of us are Iranians then it is a little harder for government censors to track down Iranian tweeters.
2) If anyone on facebook posts any information, videos, or pictures, please repost them so that others can see them as well.

On Item 1. I dont think it will help as most things are tracked on the internet by the IP addresses. The Iran goverment will know what IP addresses are inside there country.
I do hope it gets better for the people over there.0 -
