   The Internet is just the netwok.  It is not Facebook, Instagram, etc.  They are   
   just unrelated services which use the Internet infrastructure, much in the same   
   way the old phone party hotlines were not the phone system, but merely   
   something which used the phone system.   
      
   Banning Facebook, et al isn't really disrupting the Internetl, technically   
   speaking.
