The article published in El País prohibiendo twittear (forbidding to tweet) positions Spain as probably one of the only “civilized” countries in the world where such things could happen. At the time when politics in other nations around the globe are starting to use twitter as a way to keep in touch with their people, in Spain the Asamblea de Madrid banded Reyes Montiel to use twitter during the sessinon. The funny thing is that she could still blog, send sms or even radiate it via her cell phone. But she could not use twitter which is understood as a threatening tool… Threat to what? What is there to hide that twitter could uncover? Aren’t we meant to know what our politicians are doing? It seems that in spain it’s not like that.
