Man being shot in anti-government riot. (If you’re very sensitive to that kind of thing don’t click it.)

Egypt Shuts Off All Internet Access
No Internet in Egypt - TechCrucnh

No internets? BLASHEMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

#3

can’t they run some sort of backup server? I thought the internet was unstoppable.

#4

just do what my brother did in when he was in Iraq, buy a satellite.

#5

It was the government that disabled it

#6

Are they making a video game about it? Because otherwise this is the wrong subsection. C’mon, you’re a headcrab, you should know this.

In any case, I wonder if this is actually the start of something in the mid-east. Would be cool if it was, but I fear it may be short lived, especially if the governments succeed at limiting internet access.

#7

Technology, idk, thought maybe it’d go here.

#8

Meh, its far more politics than tech. I suspect it will be moved soon enough.

#9

America should walk in with a legion of Abrams Tanks and just scare them into sense. If they don’t comply, empty some tanks shells into the crowd. See if that does’nt work…

Edit: I have absolutley no idea who the bad guy is. I delibritly stay away from politics because it makes my life feel limited. So don’t take what I said too seriously.

See:Iraq War

How does it make your life feel limited??? I’d think it’d be the other way around.

On-Topic: no internet access? That’s fucked up. Not okay in any way shape or form.

:facepalm: my god, you’re an ignorant retard.

Yea, I heard that twitter, and facebook were blocked, but the entire internet? wow…

#13

Does this mean Shadi’s out?

#14

shadi lives in jordan.

:facepalm:

#15

Well I thought he lived in Egypt. Sorry I don’t know his complete biography.

#16

dude, it says it directly underneath his avatar. maybe i’m just gifted at remembering inconsequential details about people. he also said it about 5000 times in the ask a muslim thread, i don’t know if you took part in that though.

#17

Nah, I’m not very into religious debates. And yeah I rarely ever read what’s underneath people’s avatars.

#18

honest mistake :stuck_out_tongue: , but I feel bad for my Egyptian friends

#19

SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING
