In such a situation, let us know how the government shuts down the internet of the entire city and why this step has to be taken.
How does the government shut down the internet?
In fact, whenever any major incident or violence occurs, the government immediately shuts down the internet. The reason behind this is that the government is afraid of deteriorating law and order, due to which the internet is shut down. This also happens because amid any communal or political tension, fake news is spread rapidly on messaging apps or social media on the internet, due to which there is a danger of violence spreading. This is the reason why the Internet is shut down even before there is a possibility of something bigger happening.
What is the process?
The process of shutting down the Internet is quite different. We might think that the government has some button, after pressing which the entire internet gets shut down, but it is not so. This process is completely different. Actually, the government orders Internet Service Providers (ISPs) i.e. mobile service provider companies to shut down the Internet and gets the Internet shut down.
