I think it’s called the war on information! No doubt whoever controls 
informative controls us! Like the war on drugs it’s going to be messy 
and don’t expect governments to come to your rescue. They are just as 
vulnerable as we are. Education and persistence are two weapons we have 
but it has to be a combination of both to prevent attacks on all of us.  ;-D

    Hello advisors. There can be no doubt that it is a turbulent world
    out there right now -- and the Internet, as the world's critical
    communications medium, is also experiencing an increase in potential
    disruptions. The author of this article, Wolfgang Kleinwächter
    <http://www.circleid.com/members/5851/>, Professor Emeritus at the
    University of Aarhusis a member of the Global Commission on
    Stability in Cyberspace, was a member of the ICANN Board (2013 –
    2015) and served as Special Ambassador for the Net Mundial
    Initiative (2014 – 2016). It is a great overview of Internet-related
    activities around the world that we might want to be aware of --
    especially around the issue of fragmentation.

    "... if somebody would have expected that the Covid-19-Disaster is a
    wake-up call for the world to be more united, work hand in hand, and
    pool resources reducing risks of a borderless threat, this
    "somebody" was wrong. 2020 was dominated by "My country first." The
    global cyberspace was filled with building new barriers, widening
    old gaps, growing mistrust, nasty cyberattacks, more cybercrime and
    the first Internet-based drone-war in the Caucasian mountains. What
    about 2021? Will the pendulum swing back? Or will the digital
    cacophony continue to grow in a splintering Internet?"
