Tech firms threaten to quit Belarus after crackdown, internet outages
MOSCOW/MINSK (Reuters) - For Belarus’s thriving tech industry, it didn’t matter much that the country’s president referred to the internet as “garbage” and state factories as the engine of economic success. Until now.
The sector could become a casualty of weeks of violent political crisis in the east European country, putting at risk a source of foreign income that is worth 5% of exports.
The staff of international IT companies have joined mass protests and are threatening to quit Belarus after the re-election of President Alexander Lukashenko on August 9 that his opponents say was rigged.

Cloudflare says its Sunday morning problems were due to CenturyLink outage
According to CenturyLink, services have been restored

Cloudflare’s automated systems detected the problem and routed around them, but the extent of the problem required manual intervention as well.”
