schestowitzWell there are other alternatives than those offered.:)Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzTwitter and facebook are just methods of communications and thus have no effect on outcomes. Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzIt is the protests themselves that bring about changes - not FB or TW. Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzFB and TW have simply compensated for the deliberate fragmentattion of society that has occurred. Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzThe russian revolutions, the french and american revolutions all succeeded without FB and TW - how did they manage?Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzWeapons, btw, have to bought with money and can only only be got from certain sources - that means that a foreign state is probably helping the groups using arms - hardly the fits the scenarios we talking about.Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzFB gives false security. I came here about a year ago because some people came from FB who had had their group's account closed on FB - and also some key members were "detained" so that they could not attend demos. Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzSo, FB and TW helps also the police and the government - it is just a means of communication - not of action.Nov 07 13:16
schestowitz"Nov 07 13:16
schestowitzAny links on that "detained" and closure thing? I'd like to write about that.Nov 07 13:17
