What happened in 2012/13 that ended this?

  It's a complex issue and if you ask 10 people, you'll get 23 answers. One of my answers: the greater geopolitical community woke up to the power of Web 2.0 with Tahrir Square and the questions that social media technology poses to us all. Largely, Tahrir Square was the high water mark of Silicon Valley and the old promises of free information exchange and the hippie ethos that spawned it all. The reaction by the geopolitical leaders was swift afterwards. Again, super complex topic, I cannot stress this enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_revolution_of_2011 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_revolution_of_2011

    This is the first I've heard of this. Got any articles about this or want to give a longer explanation?
