I don't really have anything to add to this. It just seems ironic that as the US is developing "Internet in a suitcase" kits to circumvent oppressive Internet censorship in non-democratic regimes, countries widely regarded as democratic are actually doing the exact opposite, tightening the stranglehold on Internet speech. I think the recent sentencing of the two men who used Facebook to incite a riot that never happened has just gone too far: it's almost as if David Cameron has replicated Assad tactics in the UK for the sole purpose of locking people up.
