They were in NYC on 9/11. I certainly think they had to be.
I think in some situations they must be.
I believe in Democracy but we must protect ourselves.

No, and I’m glad they were hacked because of it. Oh, I thought you were talking about the train station, but I stand the same.

Unfortunately some situations are making cutting them off necessary.
On 9/11 we had No Cell Phones in NYC. Terrorist use them to explode Bombs.
Some people are using them to incite Riots and violent Protest.

@philosopher They’re using the internet, too.

Yes they are sending Text.
This will play a role in the next Terrorist attack. It scares me because I live in NYC.
I know people who were there.
They are forcing us to decide between freedom and the safety of Society.

@philosopher I would be pretty pissed if I needed to call people during an attack to tell them I’m ok, only to have my efforts blocked.

On 9/11 you couldn’t even use the Landlines. I had to press Flash repeatably for a Dialtone. The lines were overloaded.
Cells Will not work during an attack. Be prepared.
