I agree with the sentiment that shutting down the entire Internet would cause potentially catastrophic damage to society, but I'm not sure that's the point. Take this quote: >That means if a sitting president wants to shut down the Internet or selectively cut off a social media outlet or other service, all it takes is an opinion from his attorney general that Section 706 gives him the authority to do so. Selectively cut off Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, news sites, blogs? Still damaging, but much more realistic than basically shutting off utilities. I think the author is right to point out that the President has an incredible amount of power over the Internet and that this arrangement should be reconsidered.
