Iran blackout?

Twitter is going offline for 90 mins. for "maintenance" tonight, and the Twitter community is in an uproar, saying this blackout will encourage more violence because there will be no first hand witnesses to the world. Paranoia is everywhere in times and places like this, much of it understandable, so we'll have to wait and see what if anything happens. I tend to be pessimistic about the end of all this but would love to be wrong.

LATER. Twitter rescheduled maintenance due to so many protesting tweets. Again, the power of the medium.

I have bad feelings about the future, the model being Hungary, a crushed revolt with much violence. I can't imagine a theocracy giving in. God doesn't permit it. We'll see. Hopefully, I am wrong.
