Muhammad Basheer [1] and Amaar [2] are both reporting that AlJazeeraTalk [3], a popular Arabic youth blog and discussion board, has been blocked to users in Saudi Arabia.
AlJazeera Talk [3] has responded by saying “Thank You Saudi Arabia! [4]” They are asking if the block (which ironically occurred on World Press Freedom Day [5]) was the start of a new war against bloggers or just an unintentional error? They also point out that regimes though out the region are trying to suppress bloggers in one way or another.
