Saudi prince: Blocking social media platforms is a 'losing war'
http://j.mp/13sHrFL (CNN)
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has called on the Saudi
Telecommunication Authority to drop reported plans to block social
media platforms, describing the action -- if implemented -- as a
"losing war." The prince's words appear to refer to proposals thought
to be under consideration by Saudi officials for tighter controls on
social media, including steps that would mean Twitter users could be
identified.
