Amazon and Twitter being down is not that important.
This is at the level of a war declaration.
This needs to be investigated but let it go.
The government should start protecting these important websites

Netflix was down and still might be in a lot of areas. Twitter might be shutting down Donald in the only way they know best馃檮

@Pfuzylogic: yes very true!馃槅
There could be a lot of speculation over this and I just read it is the east coast that has been affected. Washington DC on the east coast so we should start a conspiracy theory馃槯

@SBelle @onestarrynight had a good point that the US was talking it up a few days ago.

@SBelle: I am think that anything that has an unknown source can be frightening. DDOS attacks are very low technology. I could nuke a site with enough bandwidth. Is interfering with the Internet economy but I suspect that there is something more than just these DDiOS attacks
