In Tunis, internet governance rhymes with state control

Today, the website of the Citizens' Summit on the Information Society 
(CSIS) was effectively off-line for all web users in Tunisia. It appears 
that Tunisian authorities have started to intensify their crackdown on 
legitimate initiatives related to the World Summit on the information 
Society (WSIS). Blocking the access to the www.citizens-summit.org is 
the latest in a series of measures introduced to silence voices critical 
of the government and its human right record.
