You saw it used in Egypt this week to shut off the internet to prevent flow of info. Planned to be implemented in USA?
US Government Wants a Kill Switch to Shut Down the Internet Any Time

If the government ever shut off the internet, we would all storm Washington. Wait, with no mapquest, we wouldn't know how to get there.

Blitz the US already has it, I remember reading how Obama could just shut it off anytime he wanted. They already did it to google and a few other sites as tests.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

The only suggestion in there that would do jack shit is the dialup idea. Then again, if the country is locking down the internet, the US government could lock down international dialing too, and you would be screwed there. Unless you wanted to form a wireless mesh network from where you're at all the way to canada or mexico, it's not going to work. And unless you're right on the border it'd be unusably slow.

Hooray.

We're talking about whether the US government can behave in the manner of Egypt's government.

And instead of vast outcry, tar-and-feathering, etc....there is...

(whimper sputter apathy blah)

Sigh.

If our government shuts down the internet, shit will be bad enough that we will need to initiate organization on a local level. I can't imagine hopping on teh innernets to see what the plan is. At least that's what I'll be doing. Family and friends. People you can trust. Gather up resources including food, tools, firearms, fuel, etc.

Personally.. the internet is the #1 medium in which we exercise free speech, any deliberate attempt to squash that should be unconstitutional.

But since when does the government abide strictly by the driving document of this union.

Been a long time.
