-- So what is your take on "net will be paused"
Think the bad guys will will take it down to keep the pictures from being shown?
--

The net itself is just hardware similar to phone lines. That will stay up. Websites might selectively "have trouble" or attempt to block certain content, same as now.

A literal simultaneous pause of all services would be alarming as all getout. People would notice that.

I don't know what to make of "net will be paused," other than a possibility of a national emergency sort of network shutdown. That would not be triggered on account of a photo, would have to be based on some other concern, and at this point, I see the possibility as far-fetched.

Yeah I remain perplexed. Maybe they would pause it during a nationwide EBS test to scare the hell out of people.

Just dunno. I will continue to ponder the statement.

That might explain why there was a test of the Emergency Broadcast System yesterday.

:-)

The net is vast and I’m sure that those who are in control in the Deep State do not literally have their fingers on the buttons. (It would be beneath them to actually do any real work.) So I’m hoping that the many thousands of normal people who keep things up and running will continue to do so. Slowdowns and intermittent outages would not surprise me but a complete shutdown would.

And I EXPECT some website shutdowns.

I’m taking that “net will be paused” as meaning figuratively.
