    It’s either:

    1. Someone bollox’d up and pressed the “block” button.
    2. They wanted to show it off to people as a “fuck you, obey us”.
    3. They were just testing it.

    Either one is worrying.

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