Sean, thank you...I am responding for Dr. Fakhouri.<br /><br />Sean, thank you for your comment. I am currently in Egypt observing firsthand history in the making.<br /><br />I will reply to your comment when I return, but I think it is fascinating the role that the media and more importantly the social media has played in this uprising.River Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183159889823652032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067441892853819723.post-3837497499118458452010-11-15T02:14:11.855-05:002010-11-15T02:14:11.855-05:00Hi Hani,

With advertising revenues up and companies expanding by the day, do you think businesses are really bothered if their content is being measured by paranoid governmental bodies? Conversely, do you think that, in order to achieve wider growth globally, the governments themselves are worried that the sanctions they are imposing are frightening off investment from the West?<br /><br />By the way as a British journalist I'm not condoning censorship in any way - quite the reverse - it would just be interesting to hear your thoughts. If you want to discuss these matters further please get in touch at sean.williams@itp.com.Sean Williamshttp://www.digitalproductionme.comnoreply@blogger.com
