As well as some commentators called it victory of democracy, some others thought success of capitalizm. Facebook as well Twitter, ocurred as communicator for Arab Spring, moreover as reason why this social movement came out. Some says the internet proved itself in North Africa as a new way of political communication. This is not the only one thing to disappoint hopeful ones in early months of 2011 that The Spring could not reach goals till today also the objection to being new era and primary role of the internet. China is the main reason for this objection to assumption that the net is new democratization instrument. 34 percent of one and half billion people, it means 458 thousand, are internet user in China.
