China may be shutting down internet nationwide
What's the benefit of shutting down the internet? To control the info going in and out?

Which, in all honesty, is potentially a benefit to avoid chaos
But obviously nobody trusts China's motives, nor should they

A lot of folks are about to go dark.

Yes control information, They are a prideful bunch, this is disgraceful to them. This is a ego nightmare for Chinese government.

We could only be so lucky to have a pandemic that spreads via social media usage

I see this hitting heavily populated democratic controlled areas first. Chicago, California, New York, etc. This might be better than I first thought. Get rid of some of these crazies in America. Good ole boys will survive and set the country back straight...no pun intended

Is this something that can be verified? I know Honkus has been MIA since last night (appeared this was the only place he could get updates) & we haven't really seen any new video today. If this was going on here we'd have videos every minute being posted to social media for that valuable internet karma. Something as big as "shutting off the internet" seems insane to me.

Well I imagine ISPs in china are all from state controlled entities if not a single state controlled entity. Imagine if the government had the power to cut the power to Cox, Comcast, Verizon, ATT, etc... Same with cell towers. Imagine all that power in one place.

Wasn't there a chinese dude that chopped off his penis and sold pieces to restaurants years ago?

On top of extreme censorship and limiting websites, China locks down their internet somewhat often. I know they did during part of the riots and some anniversaries
