Re: Syria's Internet Traffic Went Dark

its actually hard to determine who might be responsible for cutting off the Internet. the rebels could have just as much motivation to do so as the gov't.

Not at all the rebels don't have the capability at all nor the motivation why the hell would the rebels want the internet down its the only way to get their message out all other forms are controlled by government.

to disrupt gov't and banks. i assume chaos would help their cause.

Likely not. The rebels are likely more dependent upon the Internet for command and control communicaitons, while the government forces don't depend upon the Internet, as they have their own networks.
