If it comes that people are going to starve because internet is cut, then governments would not decide to cut internet on so light grounds.

Wholesale, yes, but targeted harassment of groups out of political favor would be possible.

Most of the governments that would cut internet don’t care of the ordinary people starve as long as they can keep the military - ie the people who can either kill them or protect them fed.
This is also the reason that sanctions don’t work.

Well internationally I suppose, people starving will prompt stronger reactions, that people merely lacking internet connectivity.
