UNDERNEWS: Lieberman & Collins wants government to be able to shut down Internet - just like Eygpt

Sean Bonner, Boing Boing -  On Thursday Jan 27th at 22:34 UTC the Egyptian Government effectively removed Egypt from the internet...This has never happened before in the entire history of the internet, with a nation of this size. [emphasis mine]

To geezers of a certain age saying "in the entire history of the internet" is sort of like saying "since the day before yesterday." Just pointing out. And while we're at it, "with a nation of this size" pretty much blows the rest of the graph away.

Gong. Try again.
