Washington's so-called "Clean Network" program to split global internet: media
LONDON, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Washington's so-called "Clean Network" program will "bolster a worrying movement" toward the split of the global internet, said a recent BBC article.
"The U.S. government has for a long time criticized other countries for controlling access to the internet ... and now we see the Americans doing the same thing," the article quoted Alan Woodward, a computer security expert at the University of Surrey in Britain, as saying.
"It's shocking," said Woodward, adding, "this is the Balkanization of the internet happening in front of our eyes."
