News of Africa and Net Use

At least 21 people were killed in polling day attacks across Nigeria. The results are almost here...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6557371.stm

The Lord's Resistance Army signed a cease fire with the Uganda government. A start right?...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6556625.stm

As per yesterday's news in Morocco, the passerby woman was injured; not killed. Casablanca is going through serious issues of suicide attacks and wanting to get near the US consulate...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6555177.stm

Now, apparently what I'm doing here (blogging, that is) is darn near illegal in some countries because it gives people ideas and they start thinking; and why would a government want that? Because its too democratic and dangerous! Posh! Egyptians, Tunisians, and Cubans are being censored and even locked up if journalists or bloggers go over the very thin line that their governments set in place. Reporters Without Borders (sound familiar) came up with a book called Handbook For Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents to help these people become undetected by the cyber snoops
In Syria, Mesud Hamid was arrested because he posted a picture of Kurdish students and asked for equal rights.
The censorship in China is like the phones in America. They tap into certain words deemed contentious.
Okay, so again rights are stripped away. But this time from a machine that could become dangerous or is a huge resource tool that open the eyes of people. What's the point?
