Netblocks indicates that it would be the second interruption presented in recent days. In fact, according to the portal, “network metrics corroborate user reports of difficulties connecting amid widespread protests and the reported use of live fire by security forces.”
“The disruption has a partial impact at present, but is likely to significantly limit the free flow of information from the site of the protests. Work is being done to monitor the situation ”, added Netblocks.
