This is how they took USENET down. Without doing that, modern controlled sites like Reddit couldn't flourish.
What was Usenet?
Basically a distributed worldwide forum that existed before websites did. It still exists today too, but people don't really use it for anything but piracy now since we have forums and social media
And also because Usenet costs extra, which it didn't before Andrew Cuomo threatened to prosecute the ISPs.
Distant green summer.
