How Global Wars Are Secretly Killing the Internet as We Know It

The Scoop: Think the internet will always connect everyone, everywhere? Think again. The massive political and religious divides splitting the globe right now are officially building a permanent digital wall.

The Details: Because of how countries are lining up in current wars, the world is fracturing into two distinct camps. On one side is the US and its allies; on the other is a tight partnership between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.

The Global Impact: To survive Western economic sanctions, Russia and China are aggressively ditching American tech. They are building their own completely isolated internet systems, apps, and banking networks to replace giants like Apple, Google, and Visa. We are fast approaching a future where a phone or a bank account from one side of the world simply won't work on the other, completely shattering global communication.
