[AfrICANN-discuss] The Hindu : Opinion / Lead : Hyping one threat to hide another

[Y Mshana2003]

How and why did that happen?  For security or control of what?
Is there neutrality in running the Internet in the country?

Many questions to learn from this but.....we can not reach those inside Syrian. Gosh!

I can prove this is baseless propaganda by asking one simple question:

Who shut down the Internet in Syria today?  Was it Google?  No, it was
a government!

The author ( I have known him for over 7 years on another list) has an
anti-corporate bias (he has said in the past that a global body (yet
to exist) should have veto power over Facebook and Google policies.

McTim
