Most people have a tendency to look away when they see something horrific. The opposite is happening for a twitter culture in and out of #Syria. Everyday a collective group of twitter people work at giving the world a gimps of the ongoing fight with Assad regime and opposition.
Human rights violations are now taken out of the hands of bureaucracy and now tweeted at a rapid rate to the public consumer. Many of the resent photos from #Syria on BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera have found through twitter leads. The network of dedicated people work tirelessly night and day to get word out as they struggle with the events and their deteriorating environments.
There is a kind of jeopardy for the twitter activist as they make sure events are made available on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Bambuser. To provide factual information of the blatant human rights violations and crimes video is taken. The documented and horrific sights of men , women, & children bodies that lay lifeless after an assault is painful, and disturbing but necessary as a matter of proof. For people from #Syrian #Egypt #Yemen #Bahrain #Libya they deal with a new type of paralysis of constant fear of being found out and dealing with retaliatory behavior from government and community still.
In cases of twitter people that are lost by death, imprisonment, and sometimes physical recovery or financial crisis the fellow Twitters are left to wonder what has happened when accounts are suddenly lifeless and abandoned from the brave eyed citizens.
