I often wonder, the internet is fragile in many ways. Decades ago we had air wave jamming to stop

the flow of information in countries so propaganda was the only source. I wonder in a Trump administration if key websites, information corridors, will be blocked/propagandized to repress the free flow of information. I know this sounds like CT, but eons ago similar things did happen with technology back then. When certain regimes take hold information is limited and none want the masses to talk. Well, just something ... disrupting the internet ... we've certainly see that. Will supposed radicals be id'ed by IP's if not VPN? And, etc.
