Reblogged this on bearspawprint and commented: Stacey It is interesting that you see a technical solution to these isp cut offs. Thank you for putting yourthoughtful minds to a problem that can be made anywhere. A way around it would be a help to many people , but also, I hope they realize that internet access can also reveal physical locations. Is it possible, I wonder, for sabotures to cut off access ? Would that silenced voice be more helpful to oppressive governements or to rebels? or to amoral criminals? Thanks, Granny

Charlie
Would you put together a post that is about what your blog is, about Anjali and others,, as well. With this place links to the blog, so that people, like me, can reblog that page, and also send it
to newleters and other networks. The link should be an url so that more than WordPress can
read it. I heard the young lady, Anjai’s speach already, but I did not know she had been denied assess in Doha. I suspect the conferences have changed in nature. It is good that she has not been cut off from communicating, as have the Syrians. Thanks, Granny

The main question is that if by using this tactic the oppressive regimes such as Assad’s in Syria or Ayatollahs’ in Iran would be successful to hold their people and their respective country hostage? I would say it is more like a final desperate attempt rather than a conclusive outcome.

We are so lucky here to have our freedom and be able to use the internet. Sad for those in Syria!

Hope it doesn’t have a domino effect in the whole region…

Shutting off the internet is akin to closing the door after the cows have escaped. Its too late…the minds and hearts of the people will speak in whichever way they can. Always have, always will. These governments are making futile attempts at stopping the wave of change….but it has gone BEYOND them.

Just hope they’re all alright.
