Internet Blackout in Myanmar Stalls Citizen Report
StonyandCher writes "The government in Myanmar has reportedly cut off Internet access in the troubled country.
The loss of Internet access in Myanmar has slowed the tide of photos and videos shared with the rest of the world but people outside of the troubled country continue to use new media sites and other technologies to protest military activity in the Southeast Asia country."
Where's the US Army now? Come on! There's a troubled country that needs to be freed! Come on, there's repression, censorship, people are getting killed! You HAVE to free them, you need to restore peace! Just like you did with Iraq. What's that? Myanmar doesn't have oil like Iraq? What does it have to do with it? You didn't go to Iraq because of the oil, did you? You didn't attack Iraq for revenge for the 9/11, did you?
According to one article i read, owning a gps device is a pretty much a shoot on sight offense. How the hell do you think peopel in this kind of government are going to "lobby" it for ham radio rights? Heck, its shoot on sight for technology that they cant control. I am sick of people like you who see something horrible in the news and then recast it to fit your your own pathetic acitivism. If youre biggest concern is "selling off RF rights" then you've lead an incredibly pampered life and have nothing in common with the people of Burma and what is going on. Youre like a rich guy saying 'this ethnic cleansing is as bad as that caviar from last night.'
