Thoughts Of Your Future Dictator

Internet Brownout
Level 3, a backbone for internet traffic, cut off communication with a rival over issues with peering. Some people can’t access parts of the internet as a result. Is Level 3 engaged in a terrorist action by cutting off access to a key element of this nation’s economy? Let’s just label them enemy combatants and send them to Guantanamo before the humane treatment law goes into effect. I’ve been affected by this- I couldn’t access a particular website for an updated Mint plugin and had to SSH into my server to use lynx to download the update, which I then had to SFTP download to my computer. This is like shutting off the power, it’s totally irresponsible and this can’t be allowed to happen again. This also underscores how easy it would be for a real terrorist to strike something so vastly important us.
