    I think by the end of the decade, every country/sphere of countries will have their own carefully curated, walled extranets.

    Once everything you disagree with is dismissed out of hand as being misinformation, there's no stopping it.

      Sure does feel like it. Everything inconvenient to the truth is Russian or Chinese disinformation, but our information can be relied on, just trust us.

      And it's so easy for the US to start censoring websites even without blocking them. They can start rate limiting packets from other countries with the ISP "fast lane" excuse since "net neutrality" was ended. That will make using any website in another country unbearably slow so as to be impossible to use. Not that it matters much, since it is very rare that I even visit websites hosted in other countries.
