Since Tunisia's former leader, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and his family have fled to Saudi Arabia amidst angry, anti-government protests, the parliament speaker Fouad Mebazaa has been sworn in as acting president. President Ben Ali held power for just over twenty years. Under Mebazaa's new reign, internet restrictions have been lifted and the speed of the internet has been increased. Mebazaa has spoken about "pursuing the best interests of the nation," and allowing increased access to the internet is an early sign of good faith. Although the internet has become more available, Tunisian citizen's are still functioning under a nationwide curfew.
