The Egyptian government blocked a number of websites in Egypt, including the publishing platform Medium, without any official announcement. Users of the online publishing platform, Medium were not able to access the service from their country. The reason of the blackout is still unclear but privacy advocates fear Government censorship. Several news websites, including MadaMasr, Daily News Egypt, Al Borsa, Al Jazeera, Huffington Post Arabic and others, have been blocked. The Association of Freedom of Thought and Expression (AFTE) has used Tor browser, various proxy services and websites to make sure that the sites work outside of Egypt.”]
