The White Note campaign logo
On Friday, December the 25, Tunisian bloggers waged the White Note Campaign to protest against censorship, which is growing to a tremendous extent in Tunisia.
The Tunisian Internet Agency (ATI) is not sparing any kind of websites from censorship.
The majority of bloggers took part in the White note campaign like Ounormal [ar], Metallistication [ar] who just posted the White Note Action logo with the caption For freedom of expression and blogging, as Chiheb did.
But blogger Patriote Tunisien [ar] chose to give Tunisian blogs a Black Note .

Internet censorship is about the most retrogressive thing some of our African governments are indulging in. It is frustrating even for the most neutral blogger trying to promote a country’s trourism, investment climate etc. My worst experience with this was in Ethiopia – I do not know if they have relaxed their stranglehold yet.
