@sphcow As much as I have deep #splinternet concerns, what's being demonstrated isn't necessarily fragmentation. It's being demonstrated that freedom of access and expression for the Internet is not universal. This was already true for economic reasons.

Most of our reminders about this tend to be inconsistent censorship regimes.

@sepehran @timkmak yes and no.

Certainly #NorthKorea is able to maintain that control by literally publicly executing any importer or owner of #Satcom equipment for "#espionage"...

  • If in doubt, #Sneakernet is the only truly resilient communications network!

After all, #Iran has almost completed it's #Splinternet infrastructure and tight control over the #Internet.

  • It's not able to cut the cord amidst it's own, domestic and exporting #TechIndustry, as even the #IRGC-controlled #DIO needs to make videocalls to sell their stuff...

As for the average citizen, I expect them to organically copy the "Cuban Model" of Sneakernet and adapt to it.

  • The biggest hurdle is to get anything out of Iran, not into Iran.

And I doubt Embassies are going to install WiFi Dead Drops and risk getting their premises violated as this would be considered a "hostile act" against the host country similar to Election Interference!

The real war isn’t Taiwan. It’s standards. AI, 6G, internet rules. Whoever sets them controls the future economy. The West is late and arguing ethics.

I'm waiting for the traditional purveyors of DDoS "services" to start offering "AI scraping" as a service.

As someone that works on routing technologies, it's things like this that will eventually start driving #splinternet partitioning of network resources - just to separate legitimate parties from the parasites.

The Internet requires voluntary coordination between engineers, operators, civil society, and governments to function. The alternative is top-down authoritarian control, which leads to a fragmented #splinternet. 4/

@david01928 @EUCommission @ranx @Em0nM4stodon also even if the courts would greenlight this #cyberfascism it would be unenforceable because not even #NorthKorea, "P.R. #China", #Russia, #USA and #UK get their #cyberfascist shite to work despite #Intranet|ting or at least #Splinternet|ting their nation.

In fact, I'd love to do some @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth / @cryptoparty@chaos.social / #CryptoParty again…

@itnewsbot that's a test if they can get away with their #Splinternet strategy...

Yep, and this is only the beginning of the full Splinternet invocation.

Remember, this can and will happen to any non-US service now so if you use let's say Nextcloud, Mullvad or Proton for instance, it can get banned as well if the US government makes a "national security" excuse.

Very chilling times.

Remember when we thought the was about separate networks for East and West? I think I’m ok putting all my focus on the and trying to keep the oligarchs (Musk, Zuckerberg, Mullenweg, et al) out of my online life from now on.

Les russes n'ont presque pas besoin de s'isoler eux meme de l"Internet global. C'est l'Ouest qui les isolent!

〝[…] multiple groups of “sock-puppet” editor accounts, which have coordinated their activity to rewrite pages relating to Russian-Ukrainian relations while using false identifiers. These groups have actively undermined Western and Ukrainian information sources and instead endorsed Russian narratives and state-sponsored media.〞

On commence avec la fragmentation : « 
L’Internet d’aujourd’hui est-il fragmenté ? » Table ronde.

Est-ce que la censure, la souveraineté, etc, fragmentent l'Internet en plusieurs réseaux ?

cuando la linea de telefono tiene muchas oportunidades, como la oportunidad de ser una url web o direccion de internet; tambien contiene el asuntop parecido con los operadores de red hace un tiempo, por ejemplo, el asunto de las bandas abiertas de telefonos celulares [neutralidad de la red]; en teoria el usuario es propietario de la linea, en la web no se puede comprar, sino que es un alquiler. mas dificultad entre jugadores que dificultad tecnica? .
