"Just as the stories are starting to get interesting, the Tunisian authorities block Wikileaks and every other form of leaks that mention Tunisia based on cables from the whistleblower site.\r\n\r\nSoon after the cables surfaced activists around the world started creating websites to tackle specific topics and countries drawing from the plethora of information the cables provide. Tunisian activists didn't waste time, Tunileaks was born.\r\n\r\nTunileaks was created by Nawaat to offer a central place for Tunisians and everyone one else interested in discussing and unraveling information related to the Tunisian government found in the US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks.\r\n\r\nBut being the oppressive regime they are, the Tunisian government found this an opportunity to whip out that blacklist and add Tunileaks to the mix. But it turned out to be a bit more complicated than they had anticipated.\r\n\r\nFirst reported by GlobalVoicesOnline Tunisian authorities first blocked http://tunileaks.appspot.com. One day later, they blocked Google App Engine's IP address (209.85.229.141) to block Tunileaks under https, making appspot.com partially unavailable in the country.\r\n\r\nIf you think it\u00A0ends there you're sadly mistaken. It turns out Al-Akhbar newspaper, a\u00A0Lebanese\u00A0publication was also blocked after it picked up on some of the cables from the US Embassy in Tunisia released by Wikileaks and published them online.\r\n\r\nSo if you can read this post in Tunisia, it means Tunisian authorities haven't yet gone on a Firewall frenzy. It means that Tunisian authorities haven't resorted to putting up a cyber great-wall-of-China to block the world\u00A0its citizens from getting access to some of its dirty laundry."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
