Is it possible to get rid of the Internet anymore?
I don't mean just blocking access to it, I mean removing all possible ways of accessing it for the whole human race? What would you need to do? How many people would you need? I'm guessing that you'd need nothing short of a nuclear war if you wanted to destroy the Internet, and even then you'd be left with pockets of 'resistance' with a couple of connected computers.
Removing electricity would destroy Internet for sure, yes, but that isn't feasible. I'd like you to figure out a way how to return the world to the 60's or 70's by disconnecting everyone and everything from the web. How?

The effect of a planet-wide EMP would basically reset all technology to zero.

The major ISPs could easily stop any kind of internet traffic.

this. at least in america ISPs are a near monopoly. easy for the government to tell them what to do should they desire.
I mean the Internet isn't centralized in any one place it's not a thing it's a network, millions of computers connected are the Internet, you could disable specific carriers but I guess you'd have to disable all forms of modern communication including land phone lines, easier to just kill the entire human race probably

Yeah, I know that. Just wondering if there are some major hotspots which destruction would cause at least a momentary collapse of the web.
If you remove all ISPs, you'll get rid of the Internet. Send the stormtroopers into their offices, smash everything up, and you're set. People can't provide their own Internet to themselves; you need to get it from a company, just like how you could buy a landline phone, but if the phone lines have been removed, no amount of le hack le phone will help you.

There are over 10,000 ISPs in the world so... 40 000 good men with guns and explosives could, in theory, bring the whole system down?

You just need several powerful and well placed EMP's. Ideally you would just drag a neutron start between the earth and the moon as that would wipe out all electro-technology.
Hardcore mode: Start a mass movement to wipe out all technology and modernism. Become the dictator of a Theodore Kaczynski inspired Third Reich.

Well governments seem to be able to shut it off in egypt and turkey and china whenever they feel like it
>What would you need to do?
Blow up Area 51.
>How many people would you need?

>their offices
They don't keep their infrastructure and fiber at their offices, you dumb sperg.
You might as well go for power stations.

Solar flare that could wipe out all Electronics for awhile.

Hi Rei!
If you cut the couple dozen main undersea cables, then blew up the top five datacentres on each continent, you'd basically destroy the Internet. I mean, it could still function, but the economic impact would basically tank the world's economy so bad that any businesses associated with the Internet, as well as service sectors in general, would go under.
You would need only 5 of these to cut it for a couple of days.

Also, 13, like they want a bad anime produced by netflix about this shit

theoretically, if you cut every underwater cable there is, you might be able to temporarily destroy the internet, until they restore the cable connections. Other than a nuclear war, what you propose is pretty impossible
seize satellites and backbones and you've total control over the internet.
Destroy all telecommunications systems on and orbiting the planet.
Kill anyone that attempts to reinstate them.
You'd need a lot of good men, which means a good reason.

ty for the chuckle anon
Removing electricity is totally feasible.
Just wait for a solar flare

Go loco like Koko and control the world's infrastructure with your super quantum magical computer that can hack anything. Then, along with some military power, you can just destroy anything you want and nobody can oppose you.
