What do you think the motivation for such an action would be?
Disabling the internet makes sense from a crowd control perspective, but what reason would Gaddafi have to take control of bit.ly?
Doing it for money reasons is ridiculous, the value of bit.ly is just a drop in the ocean for a country like Libya. Libya have far more lucrative options if they want money.
Unless Gaddafi's been hanging out on 4chan and wants to do a massive rickroll, I think you're over-estimating the chances of Gaddafi seizing bit.ly.

- jonursenbach 16y agoHe already seized vb.ly because it was used to serve porn. There's no way in hell that bit.ly isn't doing this as well.
