Lybia decided a few days ago to block the news webistes and Facebook.After shutting down some websites and Facebook,they decided that this was not enough and cut itself off from the Internet . In Lybia,the Internet is controlled by the government through a telecommunication company Libya Telecom & Technology. Therefore,they have to power to do whatever they want.

Moreover,Lybia is the home domain of the Bit.ly URL .Therefore,many are wondering if Lybia plans to shut down the Bit.ly URL tracking and shorting device.

John Borthwick,Bit.ly CEO said :

"For .ly domains to be unresolvable the five .ly root servers that are authoritative *all* have to be offline, or responding with empty responses. Of the five root name-servers for the .ly TLD [Top Level Domain]: two are based in Oregon, one is in the Netherlands and two are in Libya.”

"...will continue to do everything we can to ensure we offer our users the best service we possibly can. That includes offering options around which top level domain you use. Many users choose to use http://j.mp/ as an alternative to http://bit.ly, given that it is shorter. And some use http://bitly.com. ”,added John Borthwick.
