[governance] FW: [IRP] Twitter and other sites (Facebook?) blocked in Egypt

[Walid Al-Saqaf]

Thanks for bringing this up Michael, which I feel is relevant.

Indeed. Both websites are blocked. See:

I'm following things closely and hope that the blocking is temporary. But
you never know.

Sincerely,

Walid
