Thanks, I wonder if the fb messing is filtering or a repeat of the Tunisian password stealing gambit? I guess time will tell. I know fb implemented countrywide https as a workaround in that case. j On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 6:20 PM, Jim Cowie <cowie@renesys.com> wrote:

Any confirmation of internet blocking?

As massive street demonstrations are met with widespread violence in Algeria, the country is reporting that many Facebook accounts have been deleted or blocked by the government, in an effort to stifle protests against President Abdelaziz Boutifleka, activists on Twitter reported around midday in the country. They also said that the government is working fast to cut off all Internet providers in the country.
At least some websites, though not all of them, that are linked off <http://www.erepublic.org/egovincountriesa/algeria.html> seem to be working OK. I grant they're all government, but they're up and serving requests.
Looks up to us, with the exception of a few websites. Routes stable, inbound traceroutes unremarkable, lots and lots of DZ-hosted content available.
