:( I am so worried.

[Steve]

I am wondering... how do you turn off the Internet for a whole country?.

[Amy]

You just block it. More videos if I can figure how to get them here. Might put in other thread.

But wouldn't that interfere with communications as a whole?.

[Amy]

You would think but I am sure they have other ways of communicating interiorly. Just public access is blocked?

Your right, but it didn't start there at all.
Are you familiar with the Patriot Act?

It is really frightening how easily they were able to kill the internet in Egypt. You know that they already have a plan ready to do the same thing here in the US. It's all about controlling the flow of information and silencing all dissenting voices.

Is the internet all you guys are worried about?

The government does not have a central control point for the Internet, which means it must rely on being able to force ISPs to comply. There was still one ISP operating on Friday afternoon.
