The original link was the report that the Prime Minister and Police were looking at how to disrupt the protesters in England by restricting social services. Are Americans a different breed of citizenry? Would a question like this ever come up.  How would you feel as an American if the Internet was shut down by the Government to quell social unrest?

Update: There have been quite a few. There have been several posts and detailed analysis by Jeff Jarvis (audio) and here.

Secretary of State H Clinton has detailed the position that online communication and assembly is protected.
