Stratechery introduced me to the idea that there are four Internets: China versus the U.S., and the EU and India.
The Biden administration has been sleepwalking through this fact especially with regard to the EU. The GDPR bans US companies from processing or storing EU user data in the US and companies started getting fined before the Biden admin woke up.
Biden also dropped digital trade demands at the WTO because it would benefit big tech. Welcome to the splinternet.
