You mean the substrate of our entire economic engine? I think that's a bit dramatic.

Parent didn't say all the internet at once, it could just be a matter of telling telecoms to block connections within certain geofences when protests start to flare up, Egypt 2011 style.

Could even bring down 4G services while whitelisting POS terminals, keep the Starbuckses up and running.
