"Technology companies were already reeling from reports that the NSA had been trying to insert vulnerabilities into technological standards that would help it to spy.
"This week the Washington Post reported that the NSA had downloaded large packets of information that were being transferred between data centres owned by Google and Yahoo – in effect taking advantage of a weakness in their networks to overcome the companies’ efforts to protect their customers.

"Technology experts say that the cumulative effect of the revelations could be to undermine US stewardship of the internet and to encourage a more Balkanised network where big countries enforce their own rules - along the lines of the proposals put forward by Brazil which wants to force internet companies
to retain data on Brazilian customers within the country.

"Perhaps this is the point of the exercise Aang? Balkanisation is the strategy they employ in their other fields of endeavour so why not employ it here too? Clearly the internet is a threat to their plans to institute neo-feudalism, perhaps the only threat. Okay, so how to destroy it?
"Why not overplay their hand, freak everybody out, and then have them all sever their connections? The global village would thus be rendered back into a series of isolated villages. What was Lear's lesson again? Something about individual sticks versus a bundle wasn't it?
"Lear went mad later. Initially he was right."
