That plus the phrase "restarting the Internet" is more than a little bit

If you think that is misleading, you would want to see this article:

Yes, we've been howling with derision about that on this side of the
pond for the last couple of days.

Putting the source into perspective though, The Metro isn't known for
quality journalism - its a free paper liberally scattered around London
(usually found as entertaining reading material when you're stuck on the
tube going somewhere late at night).
