Q already told us that internet would go down to allow for EBS to broadcast the truth, and that the major big techs will have their platforms knocked out. But how do you guys think It will be implemented ? I'm prepped, but I don't really think that there will be a nation wide power blackout, just services like Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter (and the ones they own) will be knocked out.

I could see them throwing the kill switch to stop the electronic movement of funds for a a day or 3.
This is how I would do it.
Works almost instantly.
Does not break anything.
Can be undone just as quickly.
Just shutting down amazon web services would take out almost everything that matters.
Knock down everything owned by Google, Facebook,Twitter and Amazon. They and their owned businesses are responsible for what ? 60-70 % of the whole global data traffic ?
Yeah let's be honest, a network wide blackout first is almost impossible to have by design, you would need to take down globally all the backbones / main IXPs and so forth, and even if, what would be the 'good' in doing something similar? would cause infinitely more damages than anything else, millions of business and such are using those services globally, from YouTube / Facebook (there's who make his living with services related here, from ADS / publicities, creators, artists, etc), websites and portals, to cloud services like AWS / Azure / GCloud etc, there are companies that moved their entire systems to the cloud, may it be a CRM, chain supply, logistics, production control systems or an entire virtual datacentre and much more, they would be fucked up instantly, people doesn't realise this, but you would have floods of jobless people around and failed business with which reason? And they wouldn't be the only ones, also majority of the population uses services from those companies, may be Gmail or WhatsApp to videocall sometimes a family member far away or in another continent or whatever.
Someone really thinks that this would be something realistic, good to do, and that people would be happy? Real answer is NO
This way you would have the worse backfire ever
Just a question because I have no idea about what you are talking about.
Pretend I am in IT 101.
Would not the same thing happen if we were hit with an EMP?
And could an EMP be targeted to the entire globe?
RED 2. Continental US only. Q also posted services that will go down and said that internet will pause

peeping through drapes because I cannot afford internet
They keep calling the fact that no cameras or reporters are allowed at the border a "media blackout". Possible it goes both ways?
I never read that drop as a reason for allowing EBS of truth. Just that when certain pictures started to come out they would shut it down to prevent people from seeing.
Yeah, basic internet comms won't go out - too many corporate institutions rely on it now (banking, etc). Would love to see FB go down!
I personally wouldn't complain If Twitters HQ and servers were imploded. That cesspool must burn If we want to grow as a nation
