A lie can get around the world before the truth can get its shoes laced.

The most distressing thing about it is that the same lies are recycled with impunity. Every few weeks the same demonstration of Seda o Sima on fire is used to “show” that Tabriz is in revolt.
It’s sick.

I’ve been trying my best to argue that the Azerbaijani provinces in Iran have been quiet since June 15, however, there are still tweets all over claiming that there are protests in Orumiyeh, Tabriz, Zanjan, Aradil etc. It really doesn’t help a democratic movement to lie.

And seriously, who in their right minds would trust an account with the user ID “MFer” in Spanish? But wait, this is America, the land of freaking English-only…

A small part of the problem is the sheep-following the blind leader who screams that Twitterers should not retweet the IDs if Iranian Twoitterers. That takes away from anyone’s ability to fact-check and verify that a trusted source is disseminating information. But if we re-tweet the IDs, we must Iranian government agents, right? There are people out there who are RTing anything that they see without checking to see whether the account is even reliable.
