Libya suffered from being connected rather late to the Internet due to the international embargo of the 1990s, from the weakness of the communication infrastructure and from the difficulties caused by the country’s geography. The Internet was first introduced in Libya in 1998 with only a small number of users, but in 2000 Internet use rapidly increased, such that there were approximately 10,000 users, and the use of the Internet subsequently become far more widespread. In 2013 Libya had 1,115,025 users, representing 19.9% of the population (Internet World States, 2013).
in 2011 during Arab Spring activities, Anonymous attacked Libyan government websites. anonymous attacks are against a backdrop of anti-government protests in Libya and their presedent Muammar Abu Minya al-Gaddafi. Anonymous is trying to give its support the people of Libya.
