It could happen here

Whenever I read about mass political demonstration somewhere in the world, I always look for the part where is says something like this.
State television made no mention of the protests, and sporadically through the afternoon, cellphone networks were interrupted or unavailable.
It's so easy and tempting for someone in power to just flip a switch and shut down the "dangerous people" on the internet should they see a need to do so.
