Well said... you beat me to this explanation, but to expand on it a bit...
The Internet is best thought of as a "network of networks". Cutting undersea fiber-optic cables would cause segmentation, not a blackout.
The Internet would be broken up into segments, since some of the networks would not have connectivity to other networks. Traffic within the segmented networks would still be fine, but would not be able to reach the other networks (continents)... satellites and earth stations would not be affected (Starlink, etc.)
Very few things in life depend on network connectivity to other continents... so any doomsday predictions being made are just loud farts. I like the fart description better than "fake news". Seems more accurate.
Because farts will never not be funny.
Just reading this and I'm laughing. Don't even have to hear one. KEK
There would be massive routing problems and the internet would slow to a 56K modem really fast if enough of the large back haul cables were to suddenly "go off line".
