with it 指的是伴随被切断的还有

追问

with it 充当的是什么成分？

追答

the informal flow of information 是主语
系动词带被动语态is cut off,
and with it 指代the informal flow of information
换种方式是不是更好理解一些？

the informal flow of information and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable is cut off.
当然从英文句子的结构来说是不允许大头短尾的，所以变成了题中的形式。
