Internet freedom : Reporters Without Borders says the Arab Spring is changing the face of Internet freedom. The media watchdog published its annual "Enemies of the Internet" report Monday Jan 2012, listing countries that curtail freedom of expression on and access to the Website. The group has put Bahrain on its enemies list, citing a news blackout and harassment of bloggers in its attempts to quell a yearlong rebellion against the country's monarchy. Meanwhile, it has dropped Libya from its second-tier list of countries under surveillance after a revolt there that toppled Mr.MoammarGadhafi. The enemies list contains countries that are well known for blocking Internet content, like Myanmar, China and NorthKorea countries. But the list of those under surveillance contains some surprises like France and Australia countries.
