There aren't any models from history of what happens to totalitarian states when their population is connected to a much larger external network.
This is the first generation of totalitarian leaders that has to figure out how to handle the "connectedness". They will do the obvious thing and try to disconnect. There is nothing to suggest it will result in anything but a loss to the state and to them.
