Very good thread on theory if DoD IP addresses. Basically: used to shut down FB and a shot across the bow. Sauce in comments.

This guy might not be an internet expert, but I am one I can confirm that this theory is sound and I also think it's likely.
He lost me at Man-in-the-Middle attacks on TLS via proxy certs = BGP Hijacking.
Nope. Not even close. An analogy would be giving the greeks a trojan horse, versus using the trojan horse as a battering ram. Either way, the soldiers get inside, but BGP hijacking is... well, very noisy.
Yeah, but sometimes 'noisy' can send a powerful message.
BGP hijacking is both easy and hard to do, depending on the target. To do it so openly with the obvious implication they can do it again at will sends a no-nonsense message. i.e. this is not a game, we are playing for all the marbles.
Are you familiar with an internet indecent around 10+ years ago involving China routing 100% of internet traffic through their servers for a brief period of time? It gained MSM attention, if you are curious.
I am, yes.
