Anonymous Coward User ID: 23286683 Canada 09/23/2012 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I disagree, any time a nation shuts off web access is a prelude to an internal clampdown. Especially if they plan on festivities and don't want any civilian leaks of operations Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15793872 I say "dot" agreed to that, or they don't want word to get out to the world what they are up to. Communication blackouts are sometimes a prelude to an action of some sort via internally such as a clampdown as you suggest or an external action such as an attempted blockage of the Straight of Hormuz as an example or something else. And what do you think your own government is going to do to this place and Google and the rest. Pull the plug thats what. Can't have everybody talking about troop movements when I'm sure the IRANIAN OFFICIALS themselves can still use the service. |

It was THE FAX MACHINE that ended the attempted coup against Yeltsin in Post-Soviet Russia. In our time, if you shut down the internet, and cell phones, you shut down all access to non-government controlled information. |

They don't want fuel on the fires of war, which could end up being nuclear fuel. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24319279 I wonder if they trying to protect themselves from cyber warfare and attacks being launched by the US or Israel. Remember how their nuclear plants were attacked a while ago. A destructive cyber worm designed to bring down industrial complexes has Iran's new nuclear power plant in its sights. And a nation such as Israel or China -- or even the United States -- could be behind it, experts say. [link to www.foxnews.com] Food for thought. Published September 23, 2010 FoxNews.com |
