Obama kill switch: Legislation-The United States from Egypt’s 2011 rebellion, it’s that social networking is an inexorable, bulletproof force that fuels uprisings and gives body to civil turbulence. The most powerfully armed regimes on the planet just might be powerless in the face of Twitter and Facebook. How would an Obama kill switch come to pass?
The Telegraph reported, “The shut down involved the withdrawal of more than 3,500 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes by Egyptian ISPs, according to Renesys, a networking firm. Only one ISP out of 10, Noor Data Networks, appeared largely unaffected. It connects to the outside world via an undersea cable operated by Telecom Italia.”
Recently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been quoted in the press admonishing Egypt for the internet blackout, decrying it as a baseless attempt to limit free speech during a time of social disturbance. The aspirations of the people are represented in their tweets and wall posts. So shutting down their ability to communicate freely is sadistic, corrupt and immoral.
