About 2010, I realised that siloing the internet is basically the only way for nations to remain fully sovereign — can’t enforce laws on copyright, libel, porn, personal data protection, un-accredited education, scams, hacking, gambling, false or misleading advertising, unregulated political advertising[0], indecent communications, malicious communications, menacing communications, nor treasonous/seditious communications, when the people doing it are in a country you don’t have a treaty with.
This is not to say I “want” this — what I want is for everyone in the world to be one big happy group of friends, but I don’t know how to get there from here, and silos look to me like the next thing that will happen.
