Internet Balkanization

I assume the point is that countries don't want to break with "The Internet", just "The American Internet".

I believe that this kind of behaviour will be the reason why the Internet as we know it and are used to it will end some day.We will have many island solutions with firewalls around them just to prevent foreign powers from interfering in internal political processes.For example I certainly do not like what Erdogan is doing in Turkey (cutting off Facebook and Twitter), but is he wrong when he is accusing foreign powers from trying to incite demonstrations or manipulate public opinion?
