The global Internet is under threat due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — in this area and the Red Sea, key underwater fiber-optic cables run along the bottom, which provide 17 to 30% of global internet traffic.

Dozens of cables connect Europe, Asia, and Africa — they transmit the main traffic of banking systems, cloud services, data centers in the Persian Gulf, and online connections for billions of users around the world.

@Free_Press what's the threat precisely ?
@slim @Free_Press my exact question. All the current action is in the air & on the surface of the straight afaict. I suppose a ship could sink & damage the cables?
@itsmeholland @Free_Press or just an attempt at hand wavey fear mongering as part of ongoing propaganda
@Free_Press clickbait sensationalism, not journalism.
@EF EF, as a journalist with 30 years of experience, I beg to disagree with you. I invite you to give Aure Free Press a chance. Have a great weekend - Aure

@Free_Press a reduction of service (17-30%) is not a "threat". AI bandwidth sucking is more of a problem.

My comment was based on the language used, not the story itself.

@EF I appreciate your feedback EF, thank you for that. - Aure
