Can we assume that trump will attempt to control the internet and communications infrastructure?

[NightWatcher]

I expect a tragedy soon, be it real or manufactured, wherein the military will be mobilized to provide "security".

I expect the internet to be their next target. The internet is where the Resistance communicates, rallies to protest, and shares damning information. The tyrant must stop all of these.

What do we do when the internet goes silent, when civilian cell phones go quiet?

I say we Jam the streets in every central location. We take over state capital grounds, public spaces, and even the grounds in D.C.

It's grey and there's a cold wind blowing.

1. With his cabinet appt... YES...

3. Back in the '60s, long before the internet or cell phones, huge protests were organized

through the use of posters, meetings, land line phones, word of mouth and snail mail. It's not as fast or efficient but it can be done. We can do it again if we have to.

4. What happened to the "his supporters take him seriously not literally crap? Oh yes they did and

that's why they voted for him. Please stop trying to have a fail safe for the way you voted. I never believed that line no not at all.

I don't think they will be able to clamp down the internet...that genie is out of the bottle...they can't even stop foreign hacks. There is no way in the world they would screw with people's phones...almost the whole country would be up in arms...including his followers. Even the die hard ones would have to question that.

6. This is EXACTLY what the racist christians want. If it's blamed on "terrorists", they allow the

cellphone and internet outages.




(If you are a Christian and object to my broad generalization, thank you for being one of the "good ones", but please also acknowledge that there are some ungodly people in your midst)

[TrekLuver]

8. But the racist Christians are a minority in the country...the rest of it would be up in arms with

any kind of cell phone outage...especially if the cause is traced back to Trashpot. That would be just the thing (sadly)to get the attention of every man woman and child of all ages, races, creeds or party affiliation. Bring it on Trashpot!

5. Yes...There's nothing stopping the band of bigots

[50 Shades Of Blue]

7. Yes indeedy!

[KewlKat]

9. If it hasn't been done, some organization that most of us know about should

have a contingency plan for just his scenario. Perhaps calling trees to activate zones, etc.....Once the plan is done, it needs to be disseminated to those that need the information before such a situation arises, and sadly I think the internet would be cut if the Con needed to silence us.

Would satellite phones still work? I would think they'd kill the cell phones and most of us no longer have land lines. How about CB radios or perhaps there are still Ham operators? This avenue might be worth pursuing. I had an Uncle that was a ham operator. Actually saved some stranded folks in boats down near florida many years ago. Heard their distress signals.

Another thought......morse code?

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

10. If they mess with the internet it will be an all out revolution and storming of the White House

Even his voters will take up arms against his orange ass, lol.

[HipChick]

14. I get pissed if Verizon has a small outage

Can't imagine how I'd feel if the so much as looked at the internet...besides there are too many corporations with remote workers who depend on the internet...would not be feasible, if they can't get to corporate VPN's

[Laffy Kat]

11. Any minute now. nt

[Lil Missy]

12. I hope they try .....

The public at large will

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

13. I was just talking about this with friends yesterday. We don't know of any

alternatives to corporate isps. This is a problem.
