France had pretty big protests: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_vests_protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_vests_protests but as an outsider, those protests just seemed like any other day in France :) In the west, at least where I'm from, whether energy or other types of protests, the government usually finds a wedge to split the population into two major groups where in-fighting will exhaust and marginalize protesters. Cutting the Internet only brings more focus on the government.
