Web freedom in Jordan shouldn’t be sacrificed because of a bunch of sleazy rumor spreaders
Watch this video by Aramram. Many of us defending web freedom in Jordan are doing it because we care about the country’s development and the benefits of free speech online for society, for government, for Jordan’s international image and for business and investment.

In an Arab sea of restrictiveness (Lebanon is the exception) our open internet policy has enabled Jordanians to access all of the web (with the exception of one site: the US-based ArabTimes.com). This openness says something important about how…

Egypt x Algeria: Football, brands, the Arab national state and God in a snapshot
This moment I am lying in bed. I’ve been lying here for the better part of the last 48 hours, with a fever and a headache. It’s a common cold or a flu (apparently not of the swine variety). As I write this, the Nile has turned into a river of tears. A little while…
