The future of internet is you have to ask your government for permission before you can visit foreign websites.

There is no longer "Internet"

It will be suceeded by:

• Freedom Net (where "Antifa" is Banned, and you need a swastica armband to get access)

• Euronet (where UK just left, again)

• United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (they noped out of the UK, and re-re-joined the EU)

• Putin's #1 Digital Fan Club

• 中华人民解放互联网 (People's Liberated Internet)

• And that's it, Canada and Mexico got Invaded by the US; while UK, EU, Russia, China all fought over the remaining of the world

(okay maybe my worldbuilding is ridiculous, but the world is collapsing and I want to write a story about my predictions of the future mm'kay? )

You think the current US would stop at Canada and Mexico?

I think the future of the internet is darknets for example Veilid.

The darknets are here, have been here, but are by definition: dark, so unless you're in one they're useless to you.

First rule of darknet membership: don't talk about the darknet.

Panama, Greenland, after that might as well take the rest of Central America, move all the people out to the Galapagos Islands and build an all inclusive ocean to ocean resort complex.

[idkwhatusernametoputherelolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

They wouldn't.

EU would have to defend Greenland from the USA (and given the already huge amount of US miliary presense, they would probably fail). South America would be a warzone between US and resistance forces funded by EU, but since they also have to fund the defence against Russia, they don't have the fund to fight two fronts, so they focus more on the EU-Russia front. UK will have to also defend itself from the US military that can launch an attack from Greenland at any moment (good luck, they left the EU lmfao). Russia and China relationship doesn't do so well and they fight over Mongolia and the "Middle East" (for lack of a better term). Australia joins China as a Special Administrative region because USA gone fascist, and EU is already fighting two fronts, so they eventually got absorbed in China's sphere of influence. Japan is now a warzone between Vanguardist "Socialist" China, and Fascist USA.

And Taiwan is... wait what's a "Taiwan"? Oh that boring island that has totally always been under PLA control and totally never had any de facto autonomy under the name ROC, like ever, that Taiwan? Long live CCP! (/s )

(Actually, maybe I should write a story about all this... )

Unless something's changed in the last few years, the darknet is too difficult for normies to use.

Your worldbuilding is in SciFi classics tier, but it's missing all of the global South.

Australia is already more locked out, but its Internet can only exist in function of US.
