Yeah, the whole twitter/facebook/blogging aspect of this is pretty incredible, and good on the US government to recognize an opportunity to intervene in a very subtle but helpful way.
Whenever photos do come out, one thing you always see is other people with cell-phones taking pictures. I bet there are millions of photos being taken of the protests, demonstrations, and violence, and when the government finally relaxes control on web access back to pre-election levels, a lot of these will surface. Just imagine how much more we'd know about Tianamen Square if everyone there had camera phones.
