That... is very strange. Why did Ecuador cut off his internet? Hyperbole and conspiracy aside, that would seem like a very overt warning to Assange (if true) that if he continues to release, Ecuador will withdraw its protection. Very strange.

There's rumors it's related to a pending charge for grooming of a minor online, who knows though. I'm sure we will find out the real reason in the next few days so I'll wait for that rather than go into full tinfoil hat conspiracy theory territory.
