Would you mind a little experiment with that ? In France there's a call for protests and a total lockdown on September the 10th. It'd be great to have quad8 down just for France on that day.
Asking Google to inject themselves into protests about the French budget takes some pretty massive balls. Almost impressive. On Fri, Aug 15, 2025 at 8:19 AM Jérôme Nicolle via NANOG < nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:

There is a very real risk of me running an April 1st experiment of "what would happen if I just ACL off all the pings?".
This would be SO grand and beautifull I can't wait for this day. I already picture media outlets crying out loud as "The Internet Is Broken", mostly because their networks are pegged to your services.

I'm sure it would provide us with meaningfull datasets… hem… solely for research purposes of course.
Thanks in advance !
P.S. : Mind you, the crackdown on age verification ousted Mindgeek from local trafic, and required several peering-policy modifications to cope with trafic going to other sites. That's a delight on a research point of view. Incidents like this should occur more often to help us enhance global resiliency.
