Is the tunisian state that vulnerable that even facebook can destablize it or cause unrest? COME ON! how long can they keep people’s head and their own heads in the sand? let people talk and communicate, it’s not like they can do anything!!! I am an expat in tunisia too, there are many things I like about this country, but facebook was trully my only mean to keep in touch with all my social networks be it freinds or family, I beleive blocking facebook is a shortsighted decision that will do more harm than good (if any)! I just wonder: which leg of the state is responsible for such actions? maybe they can be reasoned with at a level headed way!
