Every time some petty dictator "shuts off" the internet in their country, it should remind us that we need another internet. Or dozens. Or millions.
The technology was designed to be redundant, but in our laziness, we have allowed gatekeepers and choke points to creep in - places where authoritarians can apply censorship.
The internet is the vehicle for our shared culture. It is far too important to let ANYONE access to an "off switch".
