Thanks to http://thestimulist.com/the-7-habits-of-highly-effective-protest-twitter... I learned that a site I had linked to on my FaceBook account had been suspended. The suspended site is http://reinikainen.co.uk/. This is the material that was originally posted at http://reinikainen.co.uk/ regarding "Cyberwar guide for beginners":

1. Do not publicize proxy IPs over Twitter.
2. The 
only 
two 
legitimate
 hashtags
 being
 used
 by 
bloggers 
in 
Iran 
are
 #iranelection 
and
 #gr88.
3. Keep
 your 
bullshit 
filter 
up!

 Security 
forces
 are
 now 
setting 
up
 Twitter
 accounts 
to
 spread
 disinformation
 by 
posing
 as 
Iranian 
protesters.

 Please 
don’t
 retweet 
impetuously; 
try 
to 
confirm 
information
 with
 reliable
 sources
 before
 retweeting.
4. Help
 cover
 Iranian 
bloggers. Change 
your 
Twitter
 settings 
so 
that
 your 
location 
is
 TEHRAN 
and 
your 
time 
zone 
is 
GMT
+3.30. 

Security 
forces 
are 
hunting 
for
 bloggers 
using 
location 
and 
timezone 
searches.
 
If 
we 
all 
become
 ‘Iranians,’ 
it
 becomes impossible to find them.
5. Don’t blow their cover. If you discover a genuine source, please don’t publicize their name or their location.
6. If you don’t know what you’re doing, stay out of this game.
7. Do 
spread 
the 
(legitimate) 
word. It 
works!
 
When 
the 
bloggers 
asked
 for
 Twitter 
maintenance 
to 
be 
postponed 
using 
the 
#nomaintenance
tag, 
it 
had 
the desired 
effect. 
As 
long
 as
 we
 spread 
good 
information, 
provide 
moral 
support 
to the
 protesters,
 and 
take
 our 
lead 
from legitimate bloggers, we can make a constructive
 contribution.

In solidarity with the victims in Iran who have had their votes silenced, my Twitter time is now set to Tehran Time.
