Hi Zak Alot of the writing on the Green movement and ICTs is very anecdotal.
There is some mention in this USIP report If I remember correctly Evgeny Morozov in The Net Delusion gives quite a good description how US foreign policy towards "internet freedom" in Iran as well as a diplomatic blunder (whereby a state department official admitted publically that they had asked Twitter to postpone maintenance so as not to interupt its usage in the Green Movement protests) ultimately contributed to a post-protest crackdown on western internet platforms, and the internet in general. Sami Ben Gharbia also presents some similar analysis here: http://nawaat.org/portail/2010/09/17/the-internet-freedom-fallacy-and-the-arab-digital-activism/ Wish you the best in your research. ...
