I came in here to post "Wikileaks" as a rebuttal to OP, but I see you have it covered.

  Oh, you mean like how Wikileaks shut itself down for a few weeks until its donation ransom was met?

  I'm thinking more about easy to use low footprint FOSS blogging software, cheaper smaller processors, wireless, mesh networking, internationalization, distribution (a la bittorrent, group blogs, arXiv, Wikis, mirroring/CDNs, even '+1'ing, 'like'ing, 'digg'ing and 'stumbling'), encryption, computer translation, etc. Wikileaks is a fascinating, unpredictable result of the technological amplification of voices going on at a lower level. edit: I'd rather see a release of their submission engine (or a better one) and an easy way to distribute and hide content in a way that it can't be suppressed by angry governments than to have the entire idea of leaking tied to a single personality - not that I don't like Assange:)
