Weird move

It’s either:

  • Someone bollox’d up and pressed the “block” button.
  • They wanted to show it off to people as a “fuck you, obey us”.
  • They were just testing it.
  • Either one is worrying.

    It’s neither. They keep blocking (and unblocking) services tactically to prevent people organising protests.
