Every Country Has Its Own Internet Now

Politico argues that the era of one global internet is effectively over, with countries increasingly building their own national versions of the web shaped by local laws, censorship rules and platform restrictions. From China's Great Firewall to data localisation rules in Europe, India and Russia, governments are fragmenting the once-borderless network into separate national spheres.
