Steven Forrest writes "Global Voices Online, a project of Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, reports that, as Tunisia prepares to host the controversial World Summit for the Information Society in November, Tunisian opposition activist Neila Charchour Hachicha informs Global Voices that the online freedom of speech protest site launched by Tunisians on Monday, www.yezzi.org has already been blocked by the Tunisian authorities.
That the United Nations thought it wise to hold a conference on the future governance of the Internet in a place such as Tunisia speaks volumes about why the UN should not be allowed within a thousand miles of anything resembling control or even input into governance of the Internet.
GBO also reports that Saudi Arabia is blocking the popular Blogger and Flickr blogging and photo-blogging services."
