A mass protest has been forming by thousands of Egyptians who have decided to let President Hosni Mubarak who has been in power for 30 years know that they want a change.
The government responded by denying its citizens access to the internet inside and outside the country since Thursday night.
Andree Toonk from an online monitoring site said that 88% of the internet in Egypt has been shut down and there are millions of people who are not able to log on.
Officials say that a majority of internet service providers are down and that it is not just a case of certain websites like Facebook being blocked as is what happened before.
Egyptians noticed that they couldn’t log on to the internet around 10:30pm GMT and there is just one internet service provider which is continuing to work despite the fact that there are almost no other companies which are active.

If Egypt had unrestrcited internet, the protest would end because they would all stay inside all day on the computer like americans do.
Boredom usually leads to destruction.
