Are we headed towards the splinternet?

This episode of Yours Lawfully will explore the deeply controversial concept of the Spliternet. As the global internet and cyberspaces gain more prominence in our daily lives, deeper regulation by nation states and governments risk fracturing the internet from a global common 'world wide web' to national or regionalized siloed networks governed by a different set of laws across the world. 

How will this phenomenon affect the relationship the global citizenry has with the internet as a medium of global communication and information? Is the spliternet a possible future for the internet or is it a foregone reality? And if it is inevitable, what could be possible solutions to solve this problem?

Join Omer Imran Malik, Sukriti Nigam and Cecilia Leung as they interview Professor Anupam Chander - an alumni of Harvard College and Yale Law School and one of the foremost global experts on information technology and surveillance law on how this much theorized doomsday theory is fast becoming reality and what can we do to understand it and tackle it as we enter the 21st century.
