The internet in its current form is not under threat from Russian and Chinese government but rather from EU, France & Germany. Germany with its outdated publishers trying to seek rent and France with its bureaucrats practicing neocolonialism on internet (only french residents being privileged enough to be forgotten). If the US government does not counters EU, it wont be too long before Silicon Valley loses its edge. Sadly over last few years the valley has rolled back its lobbying effort. But it cant afford to do that in future. Currently Chinese entrepreneurs can already innovate faster than American companies due to the lax IP laws. In Xiaomi & DJI you can already see this happening. Imagine if USA lets EU dictates new set of convoluted copyright/internet laws designed to keep old-money publishers and out of touch bureaucrats happy. The eventual casualty would be American businesses which rely on both USA & EU for revenue.
