I was just looking into this myself.

http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/18/reports-libya-follows-egypts-lead-starts-shutting-off-internet-services/

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110218/tc_afp/libyapoliticsunrestinternetfacebook_20110218214522

But I'm still seeing routes announced by AS21003 (Libya Telecom) and http://www.ltt.ly/ loads for me, so if things are blocked they're taking a different approach than Egypt's "SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING" tactic.

In my table right now from LTT, all showing some kind of change about 30 minutes ago:

mm what would we do without these well-functioning blacklists (
http://boingboing.net/2010/09/30/only-17-of-sites-blo.html - 1.7%
accuracy, few minutes work emailing - few hours resolution time -
clearly the blacklists are doing the job well)

And people wonder why I have such deep concerns about RPKI.... how long before something like this happens with prefix certificates... ooops... we revoked a few thousand certs for a few thousand prefix's because they happened to have the servers serving 84 thousand domains we shut down by accident....

Nice.... real nice...

Agreed... doesn't mean its a great idea to create an even easier way to screw up...

Yes. Remember what happened to Youtube because of (a) a government's intent, and (b) the lack of RPKI.

This is true.

But since no one ever seems to be RFC 3514[1] compliant, it's necessary
to attempt to intuit intent from behavior.

This works equally poorly in nearly all arenas.
