I don't think they are going to shut down the whole internet, but I am certain that they will attack specific websites.
There will be an incident which will lead to some websites being pulled (permanently) and from there, who knows.
Will they pull those websites under the guise of a cyber attack? Perhaps. It's either that, or confiscation by alphabet agencies.
Since there are some websites which don't necessarily fall under say for example FBI jurisdiction, then the only way to take those sites down may indeed be through some type of "attack" smokescreen.
But a mere attack leaves open the door for the sites to return/recover. And that is not in the plans of TPTB for those websites.
Like I said...
There are a lot of reasons that even this little website is Members Only now.
And TBH...
I may close the door for new registrations at all.
Message boards are and have always been the foundation of the internet.
But right now...
The climate of things on the world scale is not conducive to community websites with alternative views.
Maybe that'll change sometime on down the road, the wheel is always spinning and favorable positions always come around again.
With the game as it is right now though, you gotta know when to hold and when to fold.
There is no defeat in folding...
10 years ago, I would have believed differently, but now I can see the writing on the wall.
I believe that each member who currently has access to view this website can be trusted...
And that's the only reason it is still viewable to anyone besides me at all.
