"Fun fact": Kazakhstani Internet seems to be completely down last 8 hours. I live in Kazakhstan and at least in 3 cities people report absolute nothingness: no home internet, no mobile internet. I have servers in data centers, it seems they were not responsive as well.
I was surprised by information vacuum caused by lack of Internet. I don't have TV antenna or radio, so I even considered going to meetings despite being a peaceful citizen. I just did not have anything to do.
I got Internet at 0:00. Hopefully it was not a mistake. I definitely would protest out of boredom if they'll continue to cut an Internet.

- 999900000999 5y agoThat's a great point, when my internet was down the other day I was bored out of my mind. Wouldn't you want people to be able to keep using stuff like Netflix so their placated? Instead, this appears to have made things much worse, since you have a lot of bored, angry people with nothing better to do. Something strange is going on, why wouldn't you gradually transition people to higher gas prices. I strongly suspect if you saw gas tripling price overnight in America, people wouldn't be so happy here.
