Blocking the internet is wrong

Abiy says the internet is  not  air or water; it is not important. He says that in order to able to block it as he wishes. But  he is wrong. The internet is immensely important. Only a leader of a developing country, with dictatorial tendencies, who has something to hide, thinks otherwise.
Blocking the whole internet, in order to control some people who misuse it or  the government does not like,  is wrong.  There is no  security reason that justifies it. Only transparency and free flow of ideas provides security.
