Update on the Youtube-ban
Hi everybody,
The reaction from the Moroccan blogosphere is growing slowly.
More and more bloggers are posting about the ban
In the meantime I started a petition here
And you can also Digg the story here
The Moroccan government is usually very sensitive to media-attention. They are often very afraid that their image of a moderate, safe and open muslim country will be damaged.
Not realizing that they damage that image themselves.
So please sign and digg away because that is the only way to make them realize that what they did is wrong.
If you want to stay updated on everything you can visit this new blog
At the moment there are 3 posts about what exactly happened, who is blogging about what and how you can help.
But I will post more content.
This story is now also covered by Mashable, one of the biggest blogs on the web.

Your media-students site is so helpful hehe
I am now translating everything into Dutch and contacting different Belgian and Dutch newsagencies.

No seriously, thank you!!!!!!
Like we say in Arabic “la shikr 3ala wajib!”
Let me know of anything you need.
The Moroccan blogosphere rocks!
Seriously, I always regarded most of the french-language blogs as a bit sleepy.
But they already have special sites for this now.
And they’re blogging and forumming like 16 year olds on speed!
