I'll restate with a more adult argument instead of snark.

I completely support protests to voice displeasure. ( Non-violent ones of
course. )

I do NOT support turning off bits of internet infrastructure to bring
attention to a thing being protested, or as part of the protest itself.
Nobody should support doing this. Ever. In my view even suggesting it is
bad.

If your suggestion was mostly in jest, then I missed that and I apologize
for the strong reply. If you were actually shooting your shot to have this
happen, I would urge you to seriously consider what the consequences of
that would be.

Asking Google to inject themselves into protests about the French budget
takes some pretty massive balls. Almost impressive.

There's a saying here : "Forget you have no chance, go on with it. If
misunderstood, it could work."

Words to live by. Also, takes a wheelbarrow.

Best regards,

P.S: on a more serious note, such an event as gDNS going down would most
certainly create havoc. It is run by trained professionals, don't try
this at home.
