Access to the internet should not be something wielded like a weapon.
It is not a political tool to beat those we disagree with.
If we use it like that it will cease to become reliable, and therefore useful, to a large contingent of the planet who might take their ball and go home.
E.g. Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran

This reason always gets trotted out but Chinese and Russians have no interest in our internet / news sources / information. Allowing them to connect to us just opens a point of attack, and is a weakness. Cut the fibre, remove them from DNS. Let them build their own internet if they can.
