I doubt an internet blackout. The whole woke culture is built around "living online". As soon as these people get hit with a good chunk of real world they will realise what a joke their way of life is and what their "problems" are. They will wake up without their bubbles and daily doses of propaganda.
They will never shut down the internet completely.
I don't know how they could shut down the entire internet anyway there is so much redundancy. How exactly could they possible carry something like that out?
Granted these are fairly small countries in terms of internet infrastructure. Some countries are researching a kill switch. Notably Russia

I expect a massive wave of censorship instead.

it's actually not that difficult, who controls most of the datacenters? which host most of the websites..
Plus, who owns the intercontinental fiber optic cables?
At the very least they could isolate the US from other countries, and even some states from each other.
There may be a lot of redundancy locally in each place, but the main backbones through which which the information goes by is controlled by a few.
Eh, taking out DNS servers is easy to circumvent, there are thousands(or at least hundreds) of independently hosted DNS servers people could use
I don't think that would be their angle, too weak.
Interestingly it's been done in Syria and Sudan allegedly over "test taking".
