TV Station Tells Blogger To Delete Twitter Message Or Face Legal Action
,----[ Quote ]
| davebarnes alerts us to a story of just such
| a situation involving an anonymous blogger
| in Oregon, who had heard about some
| "embarrassing" videos involving some local
| TV anchors. In looking for the videos, the
| blogger discovered the YouTube account in
| question had been closed, and sent out a
| Twitter message asking if anyone had seen
| the videos before the account was closed. In
| response, the blogger received a legal
| threat from the news director of the TV
| station demanding the removal of the Twitter
| message (which simply asked if anyone had
| seen the video and linked to a shuttered
| YouTube account).

Iranian Crackdown Goes Global
,----[ Quote ]
| His first impulse was to dismiss the ominous
| email as a prank, says a young Iranian-
| American named Koosha. It warned the 29-
| year-old engineering student that his
| relatives in Tehran would be harmed if he
| didn't stop criticizing Iran on Facebook.
|
| Two days later, his mom called. Security
| agents had arrested his father in his home
| in Tehran and threatened him by saying his
| son could no longer safely return to Iran.
|
| "When they arrested my father, I realized
| the email was no joke," said Koosha, who
| asked that his full name not be used.
