If such territorial agreements become more common, the globally-connected Internet we know will more like what some have called the “splinternet”, or a collection of different Internets whose limits are determined by national or regional borders.(歐洲正在實(shí)施一項(xiàng)浮動(dòng)法規(guī)，可能對(duì)違反歐洲法律的美國(guó)科技公司實(shí)施臨時(shí)禁令。 如果這樣的領(lǐng)土協(xié)議變得更加普遍，我們所知道的全球互聯(lián)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)將更像一些人所說(shuō)的“分裂互聯(lián)網(wǎng)”，或不同互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的集合，其界限由國(guó)家或地區(qū)邊界決定)”可知，社交媒體平臺(tái)Facebook暫時(shí)決定阻止澳大利亞用戶分享新的鏈接，Splinternet與之相關(guān)。故選A。
