  • apparently hosting much of the Malaysian opposition political movement, dedicated to helping deposed and imprisoned deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim return to power.
  • They also published instructions on how you, too, can become a presidential planespotter.
  • When the government blocks DailyMotion, it impacts a much wider swath of Tunisians than those who are politicially active
  • Every time you force a government to block a web 2.0 site – cutting off people’s access to cute cats – you spend political capital. Our job as online advocates is to raise that cost of censorship as high as possible
