Kazakhstan Disables the Internet , Telecomix Restores

Posted by timothy on from the for-make-benefit-glorious-nation dept.

bs0d3 writes "In the face of oil protests on their 20th independence day, Kazakhstan has blocked the internet and disabled cellphone towers in the city of Zhanaozen. As with previous internet blackouts, hactivist group telecomix is putting together free dial-up servers for people blacked out in this region."

    This is the wet dream of the MPAA/RIAA. SOPA is the next big step down this road.

    So, take a moment to write, call, or visit your representative to voice your opposition to censorship.

    If you think "Oh, it's just that country", you really need to think again.

    Ahh, Kazakhstan, which used to be known as just Kazakh. It's the setting of a sci-fi story about a homosexual in blue spandex who is ejaculated from his starship, the Blue Dragon, on a mission to save the world from the evil mind control device The Witch's Titties.

    But uh-oh, here Hiryu is on the streets. That fire-breathing fat fuck Karnov is trying to make trouble again. His asshole is every bit as puckery and fiery as his mouth.

    In summa, Kazakh is a nation in turmoil and we must support their efforts.
