Episode notes
America, historically a proponent of a free and open internet, has seen a shift in this ideology due to concerns surrounding social media. The internet is now splintering into zones, leading to the concept of the 'splinternet.' Recent events like the TikTok ban are indicative of a more fragmented internet, with predictions of more apps being banned for vague national security reasons. This trend is moving towards a balkanized internet, a direction that seems unavoidable despite the lack of universal desire for it.
