RE: Internet vulnerability... my take on it (Internet kill switch)

in #internet8 years ago

Have not these groups been basically running the system for years already ? Why is it to be considered a problem to give them formal control. My best guess is some politician needed a fear topic to engender a media release and photo opportunity due to the November elections, that persons speech writers simply choose ICANN ! ! !

Anyone who tries to take the internet away from big business and political propaganda strategists and drug cartels and the modern military are very likely to end u lying forever in a shallow grave under a layer of tree leaves . . .

People who have spent years manipulating a system to their advantage are very unlikely to thank anyone who simply decides to pull the plug and switch it all off; personally this is a "power-down" we are unlikely to see anytime soon ; )

Yep, I found myself responding to posts where people were afraid of this. So rather than writing continued responses in the form of a lengthy response I decided to make a post about it. Way faster in the long run to have something I already wrote to reference.

Awesome idea to have a canned response prearranged , adds so much credibility to your cyber image . . .

In fact ; I feel a " resteem " ' coming-on ' ! ! !

Well crap I virtually live on the internet, I travel between Australia and America so my physical address is virtually " cyberspace ". But if the web went down and the net went dark I think I would not suffer a seizure or anything, maybe I would simply pick up a b -o -o -k ! ! !

Heh. Exactly. Or see if there is anything you can do to contribute to getting it back online. ;)

back online ? depends if Steemit type minnow's are still swimming around 2 network with : ) otherwise I myself would probably just leave the internet ' off ' ; )
