<blockquote>
DemocracyNow.org -
Doing the regime's bidding, British-based Vodafone shut down Egypt's phone and internet service. The American company called Narus — owned by Boeing — sold Egypt the surveillance technology that helped identify dissident voices. For more on this story, Democracy Now! interviewed Tim Karr of Free Press and CUNY Professor C.W. Anderson. Karr talks how proposed legislation in the U.S. Senate could set the framework for shutting down communication in the United States during a time of declared "emergency." Anderson traces the radical roots of Twitter to U.S. protests at the 2004 conventions.
