So basically Egypt cut itself out from the rest of the world. There will be a massive internet community/anonymous (whatever you want to call) it backlash or the government will realise this is a really stupid move.

If you would rather have a angry Australian man tell you about it rather then reading about it like a stupid person. The whole video isn't solely about this topic though pretty much only the first 3 minutes are about this topic...

:/ One more American endorsed dictatorship down the drain. I'm just very thankful that we haven't evoked the Eisenhower doctrine to start another war.

He's trying to stop all communication in order to suppress support for the revolution (unsuccessfully). The man is a corrupt piece of trash, but it's the right move for someone with their back up against the wall. Expect the dictatorship (barring any outside intervention) to be overthrown eventually.

After the widespread unrest in the country, I was expecting something like this to happen from a government like theirs. Hopefully they get their internet back soon...

Mubarak is finished I think, he's getting desprate, also I don't think they can totally shut down the net in Egypt (mostly yes, but not completely)

Honestly, it would do the world so much good to have a bit less Internet. ^_^

i guess Egypt don't want their people to upload videos of the current affairs and they don't want the internet to strengthen their peoples opinions and belief's on their current affairs D:

If anyone knows anyone in Egypt right now, tell them to get onto websites with IP Adresses rather than site names:

For Twitter, "128.242.240.52"

For Facebook, "69.63.189.34"

For Google, "72.14.204.99"

There's quite a background to this whole business. It's too bad CNN or FOX doesn't like to explain these things.

I like what Google and Twitter are doing; people in Egypt can still tweet by leaving a voicemail.

Of course, he has passed the power onto the members of the higher military circle, the generals of which supposedly favored Mubarak, in contrast with the more junior officers and common soldiers who supported the citizenry.

Political and economic structures of the regime remain standing, and it's not like the secret police have just upped and left.

Question remains as to what happens now, and if it'll get better or if it'll go the way of Pinochet.
