In a perfect world, maybe. As long as there are companies who'd do anything to make money, I don't think this will happen. Most technologies used by dictators for blocking the web are made by companies located at secular countries. And I bet most of their employees hate dictatorship and autocracy, but since they're not directly affected and they'll make money out of it, they do help them out.
Two weeks ago, a popular telecom company here has approached an american security expert/hacker to help them monitor mobile text apps (e.g. WhatsApp), fortunately he denied to help, but I'm sure they were able to find someone else who will do anything for money.
