> i actually believe they could simply shut the internet down and reform it over night naah, they have never been able to gain that kind of control. while yes they could absolutely shut out normies who only use reddit/fb/jewtube they wouldn't be able to shut out more experienced users as they wouldn't be able to shut down tor, usenet, p2p networks etc. the great thing about peoples reactions to covid has been more people learning how to actually navigate the internet rather than rely on the aforementioned sites. hell my boomer dad has asked me how to setup vpn's, tor, has a proton mail (entry level i know) etc. anybody that has become wary of the government since covid has probably looked into the things i've mentioned.
