Report: Governments Shut Off Access to the Internet More Than 50 Times in 2016
Strangling the internet cost $2.4 billion over the course of 2016
There have been more than 50 government shutdowns of the Internet in 2016, costing the respective countries hundreds of millions of dollars and choking citizen freedoms during crucial moments.

According to a report from the Brookings Institute, strangling the internet cost $2.4 billion over the course of 2016. Senior Global Advocacy Manager Deji Olukotun of the Access Now digital rights organization believes that an even greater cost can be counted in human lives.

The ever loving Government (s) can shut your internet down anytime they feel like it.. The only ones who can possibly stay on are those who understand the inner workings of a wifi connection..............
