best to assume that if there is violent conflict where you live, "your" government will attempt to cut you off from global internet

I’d argue not all governments. Not even many governments. But a highly unpopular government will.
Have you ever heard of Zelensky cutting off the internet for his own people?
We’re suffering so badly under the Islamic regime that many of us are actually hoping this war helps bring an end to it — that’s why, as harsh as it may sound, we’re welcoming the conflict. In response, the regime has cut off the internet to silence our voices and prevent the world from hearing what’s really happening and what we really have to say.
Interestingly, they’ve also started distributing special “white SIM cards” to regime sympathizers and their propaganda networks so they can continue spreading their narrative while the rest of us are disconnected.
