Lebanon: the next China

This is an update to my previous post.

In a completely unexpected move, the entire forum at tayyar.org has been taken offline. Remember that trend I was talking about? One can't help but wonder who else will start getting censored/arrested for criticizing our political leaders.

As an exercise, try doing a google search for the following:

hate -insert your favorite Lebanese political figure's name here-

As you'll see, there is no shortage of hate sites out there. Who's gonna be next?

Does the government really care about some bloggers venting their anger? If yes, then I should be kicked out pretty soon :(

They seem to care about Facebook users venting their anger. I don't see why bloggers might be off-limits.

We'll just have to wait and see.
