A year after Iraqi officials ordered the shutdown of Internet access in nearly a quarter of the country to limit the ability of ISIS to communicate, the government ordered a complete shutdown of Internet service in the country for three hours on Saturday, June 27. A shorter interruption followed today. At least one of these outages was apparently intended to block a different sort of message traffic: the sharing of answers for national exams for entry into junior high school.
The outage began at 5:00 am in Iraq and lasted until 8:00 am, based on data from Dyn Research.

What exactly do you think they should be doing, deploy the ministry of education on the frontlines? Single-minded focus is as outdated as carts and horses.
