Das wirklich fundamentale Problem aber ist nicht der Interessengegensatz zwischen den USA und Europa. Das fundamentale Problem ist, dass sich die Daten selbstständig gemacht haben. Die entfesselte Datensammelei von Geheimdiensten und Big Data zeigt es denkbar drastisch: Die Politik ist von der Technik abgehängt worden – ökonomisch, juristisch und intellektuell.

In the ongoing effort to encrypt the entire web, news sites are an area of special importance. After all, the articles you choose to read can say a lot about you: how close you're following a political race, for example, can indicate where you stand on sensitive issues, or give clues about personal connections to the people or organizations being covered.
While a few news sites offer their content over secure HTTPS (e.g., partial support by the New York Times), far too many do not, much less by default.

Allerdings musste Verteidigungsminister Jonathan Coleman gleichzeitig die Existenz einer brisanten Dienstanweisung einräumen. Laut dieser gehe von bestimmten investigativen Journalisten eine ähnliche Gefahr aus wie von ausländischen Geheimdiensten, Hackern oder Terroristen.
Laut dem internen Papier aus dem Jahr 2003 seien diese daher als Risiko einzustufen. Die Opposition in Neuseeland spricht bereits von einem groben Verstoß gegen die Pressefreiheit.

The first is that the days of the internet as a truly global network are numbered. It was always a possibility that the system would eventually be Balkanised, ie divided into a number of geographical or jurisdiction-determined subnets as societies such as China, Russia, Iran and other Islamic states decided that they needed to control how their citizens communicated. Now, Balkanisation is a certainty.
Second, the issue of internet governance is about to become very contentious. Given what we now know about how the US and its satraps have been abusing their privileged position in the global infrastructure, the idea that the western powers can be allowed to continue to control it has become untenable.
Third, as Evgeny Morozov has pointed out, the Obama administration's "internet freedom agenda" has been exposed as patronising cant. "Today," he writes, "the rhetoric of the 'internet freedom agenda' looks as trustworthy as George Bush's 'freedom agenda' after Abu Ghraib."
