[Outages-discussion] [outages] [Preemptive Strike] Ukraine requests Internet Death Penalty for Russia

[Jason Watts]

It's certainly a double-edged sword.

Retaining connectivity allows citizens capable and willing to access
external information sources. It also allows outbound attacks from the
aggressor state towards any/all targets.
The other side of that coin is that it allows attacks and reconnaissance to
occur from outside as well as useful or critical information or
communications a path out to the world.
Perhaps the "nuclear" option should be retained for attacks or
activity puting the world at critical risk. The problem then is which and
how many states would be required to enact this option?
How could you prevent misapplication and how could you actually police it
when command and control could be air-gapped and the dangerous activity
actually sourced from another(nearly any) locale.
