Just days after tech community abandons plans to punish internet shutdowns… Egypt goes censorship crazy
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 13 June 2017
Over the past three weeks, the Egyptian authorities have blocked access to more than 50 news websites, including Al Jazeera and local newspapers Daily News Egypt, Al-Borsa, and Al-Mesryoon.
On Monday, as more and more Egyptians turned to VPN services as a way to get around the blocks, ISPs started blocking access to the websites of companies offering such services.
That already worked so well during the Arab Spring, didn't it?
