When a major demonstration is organised in London, on that day there are severe disruptions to the tube (the underground transport), to prevent people getting there. With similar forethought the authorities wouldn’t want any free communications.
Cutting the internet is likely a possibility in any crises, not only war with Iran.
I think there is nothing that comes close to replacing it.
This blog has three posts on the power of blogging, showing ten’s of millions of visitors a day (alexa.com) to various alternative blogs. But a professional like Michael Riviero says it all better.
I AM BLOGGER,
HEAR ME ROAR!
The mainstream media has finally acknowledged what has been obvious for quite some time; that the internet web logs, or “blogs”, are here to stay. Far from being a passing fad, blogs like the present one existed before the word “blog” was coined to describe them. After nearly 14 years, and a readership that exceeds that of most city newspapers, the suggestion that blogs like this one are a passing fancy is at best wishful thinking.
Third of Americans suspect 9-11 government conspiracy

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.
Which web sites are fronts for the intelligence agencies?
It is impossible to know. Their reach is everywhere. They also have differing views within their organisations. On a site with multiple authours, some of the contributors are surely ‘plants’. Just as the drug squad police want to make friends with dealers and informers, and have to be seen to do ’some deals’. So on the political front it is the same. With the advent of modern technology, absolute surveillance is impossible to avoid.
Although I think if you swim out 80 metres in a noisy wavy ocean, maybe you cannot be eavesdropped upon. Otherwise nothing but nothing but nothing is private. Then of course there are natural divisions within an opposition movement. Opposing the Iraq saga, you could be pro Shia, Baathist, an anarchist, anti imperialist, a Pacifist etc.
Then there are the trolls, people who leave comments in order to distract from a theme or a message in the article or by another commenter. Typically an argument/discussion is started by two commenters.
