Next they are gonna take away amateur radio frequencies so it would be illegal to communicate outside of the internet.

Then its very easy to do censorship, just turn off power to ISPs and its information blackout.

This would need like a Canadian or Mexican to help provide the internet from across the border, because if they pull the Iran style blackout there will be zero internet for the entire country.

For what it's worth, I think Cruz's proposal (all of it) was defeated 99-1.

Yes, Rafael suffered a 99-1 loss. Guessing he's the 1, so a total loss.
