When a Facebook Ban Matters

Seems like it’s time to do some serious research on certain governments’ blocking of social networks and other online organizing tools. From a New York Times article on the recent presidential election and protests in Iran:
“The authorities closed universities in Tehran, blocked cellphone transmissions and access to Facebook and some other websites, and for a second day shut down text-messaging services.”
Looks like Freedom House has already been on the case, though.
