He says he thinks that fears of surveillance will lead to the breakup of the internet. Which is what the headline says.
What am I missing here?

- hahainternet 12y agoI think the distinction is between "Fear of being surveilled" and "Fear of the NSA surveillance program"
- ColinDabritz 12y agoExactly, the headline turns "the surveillance we are doing and have done" will break the internet, to "being afraid of surveillance" (implying "without reason") will break the internet.

- kefka 12y agoIt's very evident that he was directly referring to the NSA spying program. Unless they were living under a rock since Snowden, the direct reason is the NSA.
- hammock 12y ago"Fears resulting from surveillance" more precise than "fears of surveillance"
- raldi 12y agoThe headline makes it sound like the fears are the problem, as if they're unfounded. But the fears are legitimate; it's the actual surveillance that threatens to break the internet.
