[liberationtech] Iranian are bypass the Twitter censorship and sanction by their mobile phones

[Nariman Gharib]

Hi,
Basically as you knew Iran is not on the country list of Twitter. I've
reached to Twitter and they know about this issue.

Iranians are gets very active on Twitter after 2009 Pres.Election till now
and the numbers of the users all of the time are growing. It's sad we see
Twitter hasn't Iran on the list while Google and other networks are
supporting Iran's telephone numbers for give the users the option to enable
the 2step verification.

so today I wrote an article on my blog and teach iranians how they can
active their twitter telephone number(SMS service and active their 2step
verification) from inside iran.
https://twitter.com/ListenToUs/status/497374522426015744
how: actually when you are going to submit a number of twitter website,
with Inspect element on chrome you can add +98 on the form and write your
in the telephone number field and twitter will send you a text message and
everything is going to successful.

and many iranians are now have twitter verification on their phones and
some of them like this man:
https://twitter.com/ziarlarimi/status/497484191613726720 texting from IRAN
without using any circumvention tools.

I hope twitter will decide to add Iran to the 'INTERFACE' of the
website,because on the backend everything is fine.

Thanks
Nariman
