« Censuré pour censuré », désormais Nawaat bloque la police de l’internet


Qui presse “le bouton”, quelle administration et à partir de quels locaux sont exercés les blocages illégaux des sites internet en Tunisie ? Personne ne le sait ! Manifestement, depuis près de vingt ans, il s’agit de l’un des secrets les mieux gardés de Tunisie.

Tunisia and Bahrain Block Individual Twitter Pages


First, governments blocked Blogspot. Then they blocked Facebook, and then Twitter.

In theory, this lowers the barrier for lower-income Arabic-speakers who are unfamiliar with the Latin alphabet to get online.
