We are currently attempting to investigate the rumors of a communications blackout being imposed on DC. It's sounding like it's just a fearmongering campaign but we want any info we can get. DC folks please contact @BLMProtestsBot with anything you have on the matter.

https://twitter.com/netblocks/status/1267448867416653828 This is likely the most conclusive data illustrating that the DC Blackout is bunk, and it sounds like it may be a botnet spam campaign. Bad info hurts people, and it hurts the cause. While DC likely deployed Stingrays like practically every police department in America does, it does not seem that there was any mass communications blackout in DC. Will post updates if there is new information.
