The stunt appeared to be the second step in a campaign by supporters of President Bashar al-Assad to use the news agency’s Internet feeds to spread false information about the conflict in Syria. On Friday, Reuters was forced to temporarily shut down part of its Web site after the agency’s blogging platform was hacked and fabricated reports of setbacks for Syrian rebels were posted on Reuters.com.

that's fairly impressive

Habash spring long overdue

Bruce Sterling rather pessimistic on the "Internet Counter-revolution"

Internet Counterevolution doesn't mean a return to the status quo
ante of the world before the Internet. Globalization goes on, it
just loses its glamour; where there was spreading prosperity there
is offshored exploitation, where there was free-moving discussion
there are cyberwar trolls, where there was your happy face in a
Facebook there's in instant police dossier that you foolishly built
yourself, where nobody knew you were a dog you are now
branded-and-sorted Stack livestock, and so on.

Twenty-teens globalization looks less like jet-set free-spending
yuppie tourism and more like hordes of illegal Syrians arriving via
Facebook support groups. The wanderers are mostly Moslems, because
the effect of the digital "Arab Spring" on their somnolent societies
was catastrophic. It's amazing how badly that harmed them, and they
show no sign of getting over it; on the contrary. But refugee life
is for anybody, now. Rich or poor, they can all be fleeing, at a
moment's notice, if they get a sudden deluge of Greenhouse rain.
People everywhere are afraid of immigrants now because they see
their own face in that mirror.

that's probably the reason. i have this anti-tracking plug-in called blur and when it's turned on i can't see these embedded twitter posts so i turned it off for dissensus.

 

[yyaldrin]

anyway. i was actually thinking yesterday that something seems to be in the air if you consider the unrest in hong-kong, ecuador, haiti, barcelona and paris all happening at the same time. even though they differ very much in why those protests are happening.
