Bypassing bans

The wave of social media cannot be easily stopped, even by governments. So everyone should use it to the best of their abilities to create value for the masses

After the long talks in our place of origin, Lausanne, Switzerland, between the Big 5 + 1 and Iran concerning Iran's nuclear program, a result has finally been reached after 25 years. This result is tremendous news for Iranians, since the international sanctions have crippled the country's economy and with that its people as well. So it's no surprise that the people were celebrating throughout the night.

A lot of them used social media sites, especially twitter, to celebrate together, even though twitter, as well as numerous other social media platforms are banned. The two pictures above are from two twitter users (@NegarMortazavi and @RabiiRamin respectively). To see more, feel free to visit this article by The Guardian.

An important lesson for everybody here is that you cannot stop the masses by restrictions or bans. Once momentum has been gathered, a trickle turns into a wave.
