“Utilities threatened to shut off my power so… I will turn off all the lights in protest!”

Not the same. If all the users lose access in one go and a prompt allows them to easily send a mail to their representatives then they can put pressure.

If they allow content to flow it could be 12+ months before some users start receiving errors when the ban is out of their mind. They might associate the less US content with the app not being good anymore.

Has anyone in the House or Senate leadership that has received classified briefings on this done anything to oppose it? An email campaign is going to change absolutely nothing.
