Syria currently has a nationwide internet blackout. This news follows other disturbing trends; such as the UN getting involved with regulating the internet.

Syria has gone through partial internet disruption, but a 100 per cent blackout is unprecedented.

Syrian state TV denied the blackout was nationwide. It said the outage was cause by a technical failure, only affected some provinces and that technicians were trying to fix the problem. The Syrian Information Ministry blamed "terrorists" for the outage, as reported by the broadcaster.

The shutdown comes amidst reports of intense fighting in the country’s capital, Damascus. The fighting has reportedly grounded all the flights in the international airport.

So what is going on in Syria right now is anybody's guess.. Is this what Assange was talking about when he said the internet could free us or enslave us?
