There was a lot of speculation about how Digitalisierungdas concept of nation states would change. The prettiest was that, Diedavon went out that boundless space of network would transfer its Schrankenlosigkeitauf physical world. "Governments of industrial world, ir tired giants of meat and Steel," BegannJohn Perry Barlow his famous declaration of Independence of Cyberspace 1996: "As a representative of DERZUKUNFT, I ask you from past to leave us alone. (...) You no sovereignty where we gar. (...) I declare global social space, Wirerrichten, as wholly independent of tyranny that you auszuübenanstrebt about us. "
A new type of benign disruptionWe have experienced or things so far. Instead of eliminating dasKonzept of nation states, states are now trying to nationalize understand. Users in China, for example, see or Inhalteals in US, and this is not technical, but StaatlicheZensur. In parallel to such regulations, individual it Companiesreich and powerful as states. Facebook, with two billion active users, is virtually largest nation in world; Sales with Apple-IPhonesübertraf in January were gross national product of Switzerland.
