As fighting within the nation intensifies, Libya's links to the net appears to have been completely severed. Net security and monitoring companies are registering that no net visitors is leaving or entering Libyan net space.

Renesys asserted the outage was more than just a "jinx" as several websites happen to be unreachable for more than 12 hrs. Net visitors into and out of the country have been intermittent throughout recent protests however the cut overlapped with a push to oust rebels.

During the initial days of the unrest in Libya, net accessibility was limited but in March net traffic began to boost up in regions no longer under the charge of Colonel Gaddafi's management.

Graphs of net activity managed by Google demonstrate a steady increase in visitors to its sites during this week. In particular, Libyans were making use of YouTube to post images from the conflict.
