I can think of no legitimate reason whatsoever to shut down the Internet or portions of the Internet, and Internet service providers should simply refuse to comply. If the government tries to levy a fine, jurors can simply refuse to enforce it.
The only conceivable exception might involve a cyber-attack from a domestic or foreign enemy, in which case service providers can block the IP addresses responsible. They can already do this and they do not need the Buffoon-in-Chief’s order or permission to do so. ISPs have even blocked the IP addresses of service providers that host and tolerate spammers.
If somebody is trying to hack into a power plant’s controls or the Defense Department, then the entity being attacked is already free to cut itself off from the Internet until security is restored. If somebody tries to hack into my computer I can already, as a last resort, turn off the DSL box or just pull the plug out of the wall. I don’t need the buffoon’s order or even his permission to do that.
Ok, there’s no need to bring any kind of logic or facts to their party. Just for that, your access will be one of the first cut off.
