Abstract

US-based transnational corporation Alphabet-Google controls a critical entry point to the Internet, dominating over 90% of the global search market. Google’s global Internet dominance and expansion seem to reaffirm a long-established US-led global communication order. However, this paper argues that the US position is far from secure, as geopolitical rivalries continue to animate and reshape the global communication network.
