Libya first began shutting off social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and the news website of Al Jazeera before taking down entire Internet providers. Internet authority Renesys confirmed late Friday "Libya is off the Internet."

When Egypt's Internet went down the morning of Jan. 28, Renesys called it an unprecedented move at the time in the history of the Internet.

"We wondered whether anyone would repeat Egypt's strategy. Tonight, it appears that we have our answer," Internet authority Renesys wrote in a blog post on Libya's Internet outage.

Here's more from Renesys:

Renesys confirms that the 13 globally routed Libyan network prefixes were withdrawn at 23:18 GMT (Friday night, just after midnight Saturday local time), and Libya is off the Internet.

If there is one dictator that doesn't fuck around it is Gaddafi. Our thoughts should go out to those brave souls.

Yes. But in an emergency, what is the first thing tyrants do? Think of Katrina...


New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:

"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."

Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law- abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them.

And after Katrina and the outrage, Congress banned the government from doing that again.

Apparently it couldn't have anything to do with people getting tired of Brutality and Injustice.

Don't ever trust the government in an emergency! You know that! They will do anything they want!
