That should be interesting.
When ZOG tried to force its color revolution in Egypt 2011, the legitimate officials had to pay millions of US$ in fines for denying the platforms that provided access to jewbook, twatter, etc.

Mubarak, other former Egypt officials fined $91 million for blocking cellphones, Internet
Reporting from Cairo — A judge fined former President Hosni Mubarak and two officials about $91 million Saturday for cutting cellphone and Internet services during the protests this winter that forced Mubarak to step down.
The three were found guilty of "causing damage to the national economy," state television reported, and ordered to pay the fines to the Egyptian treasury.
Political analyst Nabil Abdel Fattah said the ruling was a watershed for activists and academics who struggled to express themselves and organize online under the Mubarak regime.
"It protects organizing networks in virtual space," he said, and signals that under Egypt's transitional military government, "you must respect the freedom of speech and communications. Any authoritarian constraints are refused."
The revolution was in large part fueled by activists mobilizing via Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.
The Egyptian government plans to pay about $16.8 million to telecommunications companies for forcing them to suspend their services during the revolution, Maged Othman, the minister of communications and information technology, told the state news agency.

An American venture capital firm has opinions on (((education))) in France and a (((government))) has suddenly decided to control (((education))) by removing the (((control measures))). Odd.
