They be usin' papyrus to call in the soldiers.

If you read into the article, it says areas like military still have interent and pretty much the people are being censored in their uprising

Kind of shocking to me that its tht easy to simply disconnect the entire country from the internet

Another tactic from this regime

I was being sarcastic, giving a typical squealpiggy justification response.

Obama signed a bill last year, where the president is allowed to shut down the internet. I hate the fact that governments legally have the power to do this ****.

The people of the Arab world have been an inspiration for us all in recent weeks. Fighting for dignity and democracy. All power to them! Solidarity.

Yes this is simply to oppress the people.

Im just suprised it was so easy to do it on such a large scale as well as phone lines

Well, since most of their internet goes through the phone lines, it was relatively easy.

That's still not going to keep the people from uprising against the lies and corruption of their own gov't. That's been a long time coming.
