But the government’s philosophy of not paying much attention or restricting online access stems from the fact that Internet penetration is very low in Cambodia. As per 2007 statistics, only an estimated 0.3 percent of the population is connected to the Internet. This is due to the high cost of Internet connections as well as computer hardware and software that not many can afford. Besides, the level of computer literacy is also very low.

So Internet censorship by the government is minimal, as Cambodia’s Internet community is relatively very small and spending on technology does not benefit the government or the majority of the population. Besides, the current level of Cambodia’s technological knowledge is still limited

With the government encouraging e-government and e-communication on the Internet, there is hope that there will not be another “great firewall of Cambodia” like China has for filtering Internet content, although the same is practiced by neighboring countries like Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Morales vs. Cantona : Dans “The Facebook Effect”‘ David Kirkpatrick raconte la fascinante épopée Facebook d’Oscar Morales. En janvier 2008, scandalisé par l’attitude des Farc, comme de plus en plus de Colombiens, ce il décide de créer une page Facebook, la première, pour protester contre le mouvement guérillero. Il crée sa page tout seul, dans sa chambre, un soir. “C’était comme une thérapie”. Le lendemain, il avait déjà 15000 membres. Un jour plus tard, ils sont 8000. A la fin de la journée, Morales décide de créer un “événement” sur Facebook : une marche de protestation. Elle a lieu un mois plus tard. 10 millions de personnes défilent dans les rues de Bogota. Plus 2 millions dans le monde. L’effet Facebook. Pas une révolution, une seule journée, mais une vraie capacité à mobiliser

Si l’on n’a pas encore fait la révolution via les médias sociaux, ils permettent de s’organiser et de capillariser. La campagne d’Obama s’est en partie construite sur l’exploitation des réseaux sociaux en permettant aux militants de recruter parmi ceux de leurs amis qu’ils pouvaient estimer intéressés par la cause et en les aidant à s’organiser entre eux. Néanmoins, le parti conservait le contrôle du message, même si ce dernier pouvait être adapté, personnalisé par les militants pour en faciliter la diffusion..

Haiti needs our hope and our help. We encourage everyone to engage and stay connected—the life cycle of this humanitarian endeavor must extend long after the initial burst of compassion. Communication and hope during events like these are important, but real participation on even the most modest level is critical. On this page, you'll find resources we've researched to help you learn about what’s happening in and around Haiti as well as simple and effective methods to donate directly to the cause.Thanks, Biz Stone & Evan Williams

The easiest way to characterize the difference between a fan of a consumer business and one of a local institution or a nonprofit is by their degree of desired engagement.

The problem is that most local institutions—I’m singling out hospitals here for special attention—and nonprofits don’t do a very good job with their pages. They certainly don’t put as much care and feeding into those pages as their commercial counterparts do.

becoming a fan of a Facebook page is motivated by the expectation that the organization will use the page as a vehicle for keeping its fans up to date. Many hospitals, for example, host educational events for the community, but few hospitals take advantage of the “events” tab on fan pages to list those activities.
