This year #Algeria blocked YouTube after a video critical of the military went viral, and internet disruptions during protests have resumed only months after Bouteflika’s departure.
@Advox explores what this means for the upcoming elections 📰 #Algerie

Alarming reports of 22-yr-old photographer Zaid Mohammed Al-Khafaji who was abducted this morning outside his home in #Baghdad by unknown actors after returning from protests. Local authorities have denied knowledge of the incident or his whereabouts. That is not good enough! pic.twitter.com/nWwo6lBkcx

Update: RAF spokesperson places scrambling of Typhoons at 4:09 as part of the UK's Quick Reaction Alert procedures.
Slight variation in sonic boom reports explained by multiple jets (4:15-4:20) and time it takes sound to travel.
Good job on a difficult intercept @RAFConingsby

Timestamped recordings place the #sonicboom at 4:18.
FR24 locates N725SH approaching northeast #London by that time, right over the City within the next 60 seconds.
Assuming timings are accurate that wouldn't leave much time to save the crown jewels 😕

That #explosion sound? Here's what happened:
▶️ ~03:50 ATC loses comms w. N725SH from Tel Aviv
▶️ 04:00 RAF Coningsby scrambles Typhoons to meet unresponsive aircraft
▶️ 04:18 #Sonicboom felt across #London & home counties
▶️ 04:20 N725SH safely passes central London, flies on pic.twitter.com/6L7Rr68JjS

Did you know? Each NetBlocks report is validated against multiple datasets and cross-checked by at least two ground sources. Thanks to @KatMedias of @URofficiell in Sweden for taking a look behind the scenes this morning as we monitored #Nasiriyah/#Iraq📽

But we still don’t know the full picture. @netblocks director @atoker says connectivity is patchy at best and “for all intents, Iran’s Internet shutdown has not ended and the incident is ongoing” vice.com/en_us/article/…

#Iraq's Orwellian regime of internet censorship:
Nightly internet curfews, 50 days of social media blocking and connectivity that turns off after political leaders' speeches while killings are covered up
