Moldova riots

Our Moldovan brothers are struggling to overturn corrupt election results of the communist party, while CNN and other media talk about the influence of social networking in this matter. Their authorities already started a cyber counter-attack, blocking access to these web networking services.

Seems to me they are missing the whole point. It’s not about the social networks, it’s about people, and what people want – remember December 22nd, 1989, when Romania was facing a major turning point in it’s history. Would things be any different today, if we had Twitter? Doubt it.

My 2 euro cents.

P.S. Seems Romania gets the blame for what is happening. That’s a new one! icon smile Moldova riots
