Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google recently said: “I think the most likely scenario now is not a splitting, but rather a dividing into a Chinese-led internet and a non-Chinese internet led by the United States.” What would that mean for us? Do we need to pick? If Eric Schmidt is correct, and the split becomes permanent, other countries would face a politically charged decision about whose system to choose - The Chinese Internet or the American Internet. I think the decision will have huge ramifications for all us that are using the world wild web, constantly.
