Problems with the Libyan internet began well before the US began active involvement. The .ly ccTLD has nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with unstable regimes.

  What do you mean by problems? There was some censorship, but I have been using bit.ly successfully for years with no trouble whatsoever. The country's institutions (such as libyan spider llc) were all doing just fine until Western powers decided to intervene.

    This is a silly argument. Egypt's Internet went almost completely dark despite a lack of overt Western involvement.

      I think overt is not necessarily all that was going on.
