  " This Basic Math Problem Is Breaking the Internet "

...

And yet, miraculously, the internet seem to have survived. It has even survived underwater cable cuts, DNS black holes rouge countries and plain stupid BGP by plainly stupid admins, firewalls - great and less-than-great ones, internal networks with more or less surveillance, more or less hostility towards VPNs, TOR and other anonymizing services.

Cloudflare is large, yet it's not "the Internet". Firefox community is also large, yet there are other browsers and tools to browse "the Internet".

I wish "breaking the internet" would stop being thrown around in such a cavalier manner. </rant>
