I imagine by definition cutting access makes them not good guys?

I can think of a few things I read on hn:

One distinction between the 2 cases is

1. In India they cut off all internet, even those provided by private players.

2. In SF, they cut off government installed repeaters. The private internet was accessible.

He probably meant guys who call themselves good. Like preaching their exceptionalism while killing and otherwise fucking up truckloads of "they hate our freedoms" people.
