U.S. Has Secret Tools to Force Internet on Dictators

[Drolefille]

You can't shut down the internet in a small city. Not without physically cutting power lines and blocking satellite feeds and tearing down cell phone towers.

It's just not possible.

And enough people here know what they're doing, just as people in Iran found proxies, people here would find a way. To do it nationally would be impossible, and as noted would not prohibit communications amongst Americans.

The day something like happens will be preceded by some really obvious actions: martial law, American military used on its own citizens, hell it'd require a government willing to shut down business which sure as shit ain't happening any time soon.
