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. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
