Anybody remember the days when:
- News of the USSR's fall was leaking out over USENET?
- Folks were live posting from gas-proofed rooms in Israel, during one

There is a reason that the US Government was developing and promulgating
things like TOR, for a while. Kind of useless if we cut the lines of
communication. (Of course, removing DNS records doesn't effect
connectivity.)
