I'll restate with a more adult argument instead of snark. I completely support protests to voice displeasure. ( Non-violent ones of course. )
I do NOT support turning off bits of internet infrastructure to bring attention to a thing being protested, or as part of the protest itself. Nobody should support doing this. Ever. In my view even suggesting it is bad. If your suggestion was mostly in jest, then I missed that and I apologize for the strong reply. If you were actually shooting your shot to have this happen, I would urge you to seriously consider what the consequences of that would be.
