The Blogging Revolution: Going Online in Repressive Regimes

In 2007, Australian journalist, author and blogger Antony Loewenstein traveled to Egypt, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Cuba and China to investigate how the net was challenging authoritarian regimes, the role of Western multinationals such as Google in the assistance of web filtering and how misinformed we are in the West towards states considered "enemies" or "allies". He discusses his acclaimed new book, The Blogging Revolution.

good stuff. In upping this it becomes part of 'the media', is then heard! Rudd and his 'hollowmen' will know about this vid being posted coz their big media monitoring co will inform them, inform them of this comment I'm typing now even. Very difficult to get this issue up in the media - the main media is so lame.
