How did people do it before the internet and cell phones then?

Again its not like they shut down verizon/sprint/ATT etc… They shut down a service they provide as a convenience to people (I’m sure there was a “saftey” facotor to that as well in case something happend to someoen udnerground)

I guess companies blocking access to social media sites so that people actually work, or me turning off my public wifi is a constitutional and human rights violation.
