WaPo: The U.S. government couldn't shut down the Internet, right? Think again.

[erronis]

11. "Shutting down the internet" doesn't mean that it can't be done selectively.

Not to give the trumpsters/wanna-be oligarchs any more ideas, but...

China has worked hard at limiting traffic to/from certain sites, domains, IP ranges. As has rUSSRia, NORK, and other dictator-led states. Personal privacy controls and encryption have been effectively disabled. VPNs, TOR browsers, etc. are illegal or get you flagged for a "visit".

Of course, the peeResident and other WH stoogies will have access to their favorite apps, sites. Loyal fux-tv viewers will still be able to stream state media messages over the inner-tubes.

Others of us may find interesting changes in the pages we visit, the emails we send/receive. Or see nothing at all.
