Typical examples, DPRK, Cuba, Etc. >> government >> passed new legislation to reduce the region’s political autonomy >> government implemented a telecommunications blackout >> government announced that it would be revoking [freedom] >> sparked huge unrest >> To what extent should >> the government be able to revoke access to connectivity?
