Avec plus d’un milliard d’utilisateurs et trois billions de recherches par mois dans le monde entier, Youtube attire des millions d’internautes tunisiens depuis la levée de la censure en janvier 2011. Et l’usage de cette plateforme se développe de plus en plus en Tunisie, au point d’atteindre 4 millions de visiteurs uniques par mois en 2017 et environ 15 millions de visionnages par jour. Aujourd’hui, qu’en est-il de la monétisation des nombreuses chaînes Youtube tunisiennes ?

Sur Internet, 1994-2004 a été l’ère des pionniers. 2004-2007 a été l’ère des marchands. Aujourd’hui s’ouvre l’ère des mé chants. Partout dans le monde, les sites plongent dans le noir, les arrestations s’enchaînent, les peines de prison pleuvent. Le Web vient de fêter ses 20 ans. Personne ne le prenait au sérieux : c’est fini.
I first met Mohamed Nanabhay, the 29-year-old South African, during the 3rd Annual Aljazeera Forum in Doha, Qatar, in 2007. Mohamed is a prominent blogger, a friend and a colleague from Global Voices covering Qatar where he is based. Mohamed is the former Aljazeera head of New Media and the mastermind of the Aljazeera’s successful invasion of the Web.
The nation prohibits access not only to opposition websites and sites run by critical exiles, but also such popular sites as YouTube and Daily Motion as banned due to their hosting of videos documenting prison abuse in Tunisia.

The extensive palace complex of Tunisia’s septuagenarian dictator, President Zine el-Abidine ben Ali, for example, is off limits to his citizens. Anyone caught taking photographs of the vast complex are likely to be arrested. But cyberspace is beyond President ben Ali’s reach. There his palace is besieged by human rights activists.
La fermeture du célèbre réseau social par le régime de Ben Ali a provoqué une mobilisation sans précédent chez les internautes. Pour une fois, les censeurs ont dû faire marche arrière. Des opposants aimeraient y voir une faille du système répressif.
