Although the internet is changing the way the media works as blogs, chat forums and social networking sites turn passive consumers into active critics, it is not just citizens who are taking advantage of its technological power warned the report.

Julien Pain - who heads the internet freedom desk at the RSF and was one of the report's authors, noted: "Everyone's interested in the internet - especially dictators".

Mr Pain said the world's dictators have not remained powerless in the face of the explosion of online content. By contrast, many have been "efficient and inventive" in using the net to spy on citizens and censor debate.

..consider the existing growth industry in monitoring software. And their fundamental operating principal is, "evidence collection". It's a classic case of the old adage, "give em enough rope and they'll hang them selves". And because it's a business we'll get paid too!! 😕
