For a variety of reasons it does not seem so far fetched these days that our civilian governments will, for whatever reason, fail to maintain order. I do believe that the Internet would or could play a critical role during the suspension of civil law, if that day ever occurs. IMO, the free flow of information is critical in a free society - will information continue to flow freely if martial law is ever imposed? IMO...it depends.

The key isn't shutting down the flow of information, but controlling it. This has been debated to death in many cyberwarfare exercises. The real question is, what are your goals and how much noise do you need to generate to protect the disinformation from being drowned out by real information.
