This is kind of a fallacy.
Internet is a form of control. If they shut it down, they can't control the masses...
These kind of articles are just scaremongering and a preparation of minds, to keep in fear the masses.
FEAR IS THE WEAPON OF CONTROL.
I would be happy having at least 3 days cut in my area.
I am prepared. Will just watching how zombies and NPCs are killing each others for a bottle of water.
internet is a form of control but not the only one. television had been used for decades. radio before that. with internet shut down, we'd revert to older tech to stay informed. however, since more infrastructure is needed for many of these forms, they would be more centralized and therefore more easily co-opted.
it's important for us to have ways to keep open communications open outside of what is provided for us. it's not scare-mongering. for the government, it's better than leaving the internet running.
