It absolutely does matter! The government "just doing it" as described is an extreme, reactionary measure comparable to all those authoritarian governments we criticize daily. Contrast this to a federal kill-switch policy, approved by elected officials who ostensibly represent their constituents. Though the end result is the same, the context is drastically different (which in turn will affect how many people interpret the action -- crazy civil liberty violation, or prudent and justified response).
