Tunisie : Réduire au silence la liberté d’expression sur Internet
Bloquer des sites web 2.0 tels que Youtube, Dailymotion, Facebook, barrer l’accès à des sites et blogs locaux est la forme la plus courante de censure d’Internet en Tunisie. Il doit être souligné, cependant, que ce n’est pas le seul outil dans les mains du régime.

However, and as shown in this example, Tunisian cyberactivists are successful enough in besieging Carthage presidential palace, on Google Earth, with tens of human rights videos.

Sarkozy a voté Ben Ali
« Le premier des droits de l’homme, c’est manger, être soigné, recevoir une éducation et avoir un habitat ».
