On Jan. 25th, thousands of protesters, mobilized largely on the Internet and energized by the revolution that ousted Tunisia's dictator, occupied one of the city’s most famous squares for hours, beating back attempts to dislodge them by police officers wielding tear gas and water cannons.

The following day the government outlawed public gatherings and said any protesters would face “immediate” arrest. But organizers using social networking sites urged a second day of street protests, and the government order was quickly violated in the capital and elsewhere, although by smaller groups of protesters.

Two days later, on Friday, tens of thousands of demonstrators poured from mosques after noon prayers, clashing with police who fired tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons. Mr. Mubarak appeared on television late that night and ordered his government to resign, but did not offer to step down himself. He backed his security forces’ attempts to contain the surging unrest, saying that while he was “on the side of freedom,” his job was to protect the nation from chaos.

I think the fact they can just shut down the internet is very interesting. Obama has been pushing for a kill-switch himself.

NO INTERNET FOR YOU.
