I am not here to defend twitter block however considering topic filled with political comments i want to fix some misunderstanding.
Twitter is used as alternative channel yet critical for organization of volunteers . They say their operation hit by 70%. However people first ask help from official channel than seek alternatives arriving twitter as first option.
Saying that people asking help under rubble from twitter is straight out political comment. Block happened like 65+ hours after earthquake. 95%+ of rescue operation runs over official channel.
At this point is not that important anymore but I have never seen single tweet that points out you should shut down your phone in area so people under rubble have better change of reception. Which is insane.
Volunteers going there complaining phone/internet not working properly not aware they are potentially blocking people under rubble from access to phone yet complaining about twitter ban.
I am not defending block nor underestimating damage to volunteer organization (about distribution of help) just attempting to balance against political comments.
By the way twitter block is lifted again. |
