If history is any gauge, it is nearly impossible to control the ideas in any society. Further, the more efforts for control, the more pressure builds-up in society.
Regimes in the Middle East, Asia, and other parts of the world that use technology in attempts to sensor free speech and influence public opinion toward government or party positions are going down a perilous path that risks the stability of civil society.
I think rising food and housing costs and the difficulty in finding work are some of the main reasons that civil unrest appears to be on the rise. This causes an unpredictable situation, as was the case in Egypt.
