This is because Twitter allowed themselves to be a tool of the US State Department. They were due to take it down for maintenance during the Iranian elections, but at the US State Department's request kept it up.

Now various regimes who saw what happened during that time, or possibly Iran it self, will do what ever it takes to make sure Twitter is gone for good.

If I were a dictator, I would make sure it was taken down and kept down.

People can communicate via the net in despotic countries WITHOUT twitter. Plenty of web apps that work well on phones are out there for these users who want to get words and images out of these countries. I think your making twitter seem lots more important than it is.
