Not just split by nations - search engines and social media, news media too - and while there isn't much evidence of traffic manipulation, companies like cloudflare wield a disproportionate amount of power over internet communications. That's not to say that there are dangerous places on the internet that people need to be protected from, but the idea of a totally neutral and open internet has long since been a thing of the past.

Also, the power of the big cloud hosting providers is already being looked at as a systemic risk for financial institutions.
In the UK, banks are required to report their use of cloud services to the financial regulators because of the risk a major outage could pose.
