I disagree. Those gadgets provide access to the internet (which exposes folks to different ideas). It's virtually impossible to block wide swaths of the internet forever.
Facebook contains just as much Islamic criticism as it did last May when various countries temporarily blocked it.
Global communication empowers the individual to question authority. The Internet is to the Muslim world what Gutenberg movable type was to Christian Europe.
