The year 2010 is coming to an end but Tunisia is shaken up by a social uprising that many bloggers hope will bring decisive change in the country. Because of the Tunisian censorship of internet and the media, social media are heavily used to inform and organize the protests for 13 days now by using the hashtag #SidiBouzid. One main question stands out: Why are the protests in Tunisia not having the same echo as the protests in Iran ? Additionally, why is censorship by China always discussed but the black out by the police state of Tunisia never addressed ?
