Governments are increasingly resorting to shutdowns in times of crisis, arguing that they are necessary for public safety or to curb the spread of misinformation.

When the internet is off, people’s ability to express themselves freely is limited, the economy suffers, journalists struggle to upload photos and videos documenting government overreach and abuse, students are cut off from their lessons and exams, taxes can’t be paid on time, and those needing health care cannot get consistent access....

Pattinson took four wickets while the experienced duo of Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus shared three each on the opening day of the 100th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground....

They’re responsible for more deaths Down Under than any other snakes, with the site claiming they’re famous for being “[f]ast-moving, aggressive and known for their bad temper....

For Clinton, there’s a political danger as well. In accepting the GOP nomination last week, Bob Dole accused the president of ““giving a green light to a terrorist state, Iran, to expand its influence in Europe’’ by arming Bosnian Muslims.
