Since I’ve been hard on Obama regarding Iran, I should say his administration should be applauded for asking Twitter to stay up and running by delaying scheduled maintenance so Iranians can keep the lines of communication open (though Twitter downplays the importance of the State Department’s request). That is precisely the sort of thing the U.S. government should be doing. It will be interesting to learn whether that was a presidential decision. Either way, it was the right thing to do.
