Avec plus d’un milliard d’utilisateurs et trois billions de recherches par mois dans le monde entier, Youtube attire des millions d’internautes tunisiens depuis la levée de la censure en janvier 2011. Et l’usage de cette plateforme se développe de plus en plus en Tunisie, au point d’atteindre 4 millions de visiteurs uniques par mois en 2017 et environ 15 millions de visionnages par jour. Aujourd’hui, qu’en est-il de la monétisation des nombreuses chaînes Youtube tunisiennes ?
La divulgation par WikiLeaks, en novembre 2010, des échanges entre l’ambassade US en Tunisie et le département des Affaires étrangères américain est censée avoir joué le rôle de déclencheur du « printemps arabe ». Ces câbles trahissaient une vision peu flatteuse du pouvoir « sclérosé » de Ben Ali.

Sur Internet, 1994-2004 a été l’ère des pionniers. 2004-2007 a été l’ère des marchands. Aujourd’hui s’ouvre l’ère des mé chants. Partout dans le monde, les sites plongent dans le noir, les arrestations s’enchaînent, les peines de prison pleuvent. Le Web vient de fêter ses 20 ans. Personne ne le prenait au sérieux : c’est fini.
I first met Mohamed Nanabhay, the 29-year-old South African, during the 3rd Annual Aljazeera Forum in Doha, Qatar, in 2007.

Anyone caught taking photographs of the vast complex are likely to be arrested. But cyberspace is beyond President ben Ali’s reach. There his palace is besieged by human rights activists.
La fermeture du célèbre réseau social par le régime de Ben Ali a provoqué une mobilisation sans précédent chez les internautes. Pour une fois, les censeurs ont dû faire marche arrière. Des opposants aimeraient y voir une faille du système répressif.
