With the farm laws repeal, it has essentially been proven that you can now stifle the population and infrastructure and get your way. So I won't be surprised if this ends up working, unless the government grows a spine.
Something similar is done by my organisation with the firewall(Fortinet/Fortiguard). We are forced to install a certificate as a trusted authority in the system store.
