I'd be affected less if the government forbade me to receive snailmail and use a telephone, than when I were forbidden to use the internet. Quite a few government services are already most easily (if not yet solely) accessible via the internet; being cut off from my email, as well as the rest of it would be on the order of taking away my right to vote.
As such, losing internet access over 'conviction' in a civil
infringement suit (or whatever you would want to call it) is not at all proportional to the
infraction.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, and correlation != causation. I doubt their methodology is quite sound enough to be able to assert this with any degree of confidence. The lay term, which is luckily apt, is "wishful thinking", and it's meaningless if nothing worse.
