Right, and exactly what circumstances would require the shutdown of the entire internet? Are we expecting a new wave of super-geniuses who can write malware that is magically millions of times more effective than we've seen to date? Is the internet somehow going to make a terrorist attack worse, or make a volcano blow up more, or cause more powerful aftershocks if it's on after an earthquake? Give me a break. This is a solution to a non-problem being used as a cover for something far more obvious and disgusting: some busybody/psychopath/narcissist/scumfuck somewhere has determined that he and he alone needs the sole power to decide whether and when people are entitled to use services he has had absolutely no hand in providing.
