Sorry, maybe I reacted inappropriately. But I think we don't realize what a privilege reliable access to internet is, until it is taken away.

I get what you are saying, especially in a case where Internet is the only reliable way to get information in or out of your country.

I work in IT, spend my free time coding personal stuff and what is left - it is used to read on Internet various sources of information. This is the reason I would be glad if this was a bit limited, so that people need to go to libraries to read something, and not be overwhelmed by information.

When I go trekking in places where there is no access to Internet I get a satellite phone for the sake of security. I like these times where I simply cannot connect anywhere and have to fill my head with other things (thoughts, reading, discussing, ...)
