It very likely that China cut the cable, to help Russia.

Swedish authorities track Chinese vessel to scene of Baltic cable breaks

And it wouldn’t be the first time something similar happened.

Chinese, Russian vessels in vicinity of Baltic Sea links damage -vessel tracking data

Beijing admits Hong Kong-flagged ship destroyed key Baltic gas pipeline ‘by accident’

we should bring back “rods from god” and use them to obliterate any unknown ships when they spend too much time around deep sea infrastructure.

best case, the threat is destroyed. worse case, the largest synced pants shitting known in history.

Did it fall out of a window?

Cause: Russia desperately fishing for leverage out at sea.

Spoiler: it was Russia.

Anyway, let’s be honest, the dream of the “world wide web” is, and always was, pretty damn naive.

The internet and society at large would be a better place if we told our geopolitical enemies (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc.) to fuck off and make their own internet (which they’re trying to do anyway, but today are benefiting from the best of both worlds). This one-way great firewall bullshit where foreign governments restrict what their people can see coming out of the west, while easily manipulating what our people see on social media via disinformation and troll farms, has not been working out.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but we would be much better off with multiple multi-national intranets among allied nations with shared values, interests, laws, and accountability.

Is it a kraken? Please let it be a kraken. I think we’re due for some Pacific Rim style kaiju.

Every one of these that are cut increases the value of Starlink

So was it the the Russians who blew up their own Nord pipeline, or was it that Ukrainian guy with a yacht? It’s hard to keep track

Data cables defo Russia sabotage (if deliberate), doesn’t serve anyone else’s goals

Nordstream redux? I wonder if Hetzner is affected.
