Linking up

(Bloomberg) -- Protests erupted in cities across Iran, leaving at least one person dead, after the government unexpectedly hiked gasoline prices, the semi-official Iranian Student’s News Agency reported.
The fatality occurred during clashes in Sirjan in the southern province of Kerman on Friday, ISNA reported, citing the city’s acting governor, Mohammad Mahmoudabadi. Protests spread on Saturday to Tehran, where motorists blocked highways and intersections with their vehicles in a dense snowfall, according to the Fars news agency.
A special economic commission decided late Thursday to boost gasoline prices by as much as three times and also to ration the motor fuel, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The price increase came without any prior warning.

The web naturally links all these protests in the Middle East. The one group learning from the other, and there is implicit coordination via click competition.  When they search each other they get Hong Kong as a side effect.

Synchronization is not coincidence. It is the minimization property of search engine. A separating semantic evolves that optimally partition the protests for easy look up. The global protesters come to a derived an optimal search language. Search engines develop an 'index' for look ups that share the common frame works, get the minimal spanning tree that holds the search terms.
