In reply to the discussion: If Trump wins, do you think he will shut down Democratic and Liberal websites? [View all]delisen
(6,042 posts)37. I understand and I think it was probably an attack but not by government.
However I think modern authoritarian regimes will let sites operate because it allows them to spy.
I could see a modern authoritarian state occasionally and unpredictably taking down a site as a form of terrorism -to spread a sense of despair, anxiety and isolation-but I think in general sites will be up and be tampered with.

Do you honestly think Trump gives a damn about the Constitution, and that it protects us from him?
