No, but maybe you can share some of the evidence you apparently have that the United States is actively trying to sabotage the world's communication infrastructure?

Sure, it throws its weight around when asking various social media platforms to censor certain types of content, and it has a no-holds-barred approach to intercepting data traffic, but it generally draws the line at knocking services entirely offline.

It creates, exploits and maintains vulnerabilities in public infrastructure that anyone else(state nation or similar capacity) can take advantage of.
