Splinternet is a term used to describe a splintering and division of the internet due to various factors, including technology, politics, and nationalism. "Powerful forces are threatening to balkanise it," writes the Economist weekly, and it may soon splinter along geographical and commercial boundaries. Countries such as China have erected what is termed a "Great Firewall," for political reasons, while other nations, such as Australia, plan to create a similar firewall to block child pornography or weapons-making instructions.
