Internet Reportedly Down in Syria

On the same day that Egypt has allegedly blocked the Internet, Syria may have made a similar move to silence dissenting voices.

According to Arabic-language website Al Arabiya, the country has suspended all of its Internet services.

Earlier this week, Reuters reported that Syria had imposed bans on two programs that allow access to Facebook, which had previously been banned in 2007.

The country has a history of restricting media coverage of poverty and corruption, but it’s not clear that it has gone as far as disrupting Internet service altogether. Shorty after Al Arabiya reported that the Internet was down in Syria, a government representative denied the claim. Many who said they were tweeting from Syria also commented that they weren’t having any problems accessing the Internet.

Reports from Egypt, on the other hand, confirm that the government blocked Twitter and then Internet access altogether in response to escalating protests against the regime of President Hosni Mubarak.

Hillary Clinton addressed the rise of Internet censorship in a speech last week, calling it the “new information curtain.” But Egypt and — if the report is true, Syria — are the first countries to push censorship to the point of completely shutting down the Internet.

So you had suspected that LKy pulled the plug today?


There are unpredictable result from pulling these plugs.

You may be able to sabotage some communications. But that gave out THE ACTION SIGNAL to EVERYONE. When everyone found that the net is blacked out, instead of communicating at home, they will go out to the street with some preparations - to find out what's really going on, and because the plug is pulled this number will be BIG.



So LKy would like us to stay on the keyboard instead, I bet you it is better for LEEgime to see us still onlive fucking them rather than standing off against their riot squad at e.g. Speakers Cornered. They know the taste, they know what we can do.


So ladies and gentlemen: if the plug is pulled, that is the signal, Cyber turns Reality! V for Vendetta!

SAF infantry trained us - radio silence before assault. So Internet silence is no diff loh...
