Under the banner of “security,” temporary rules harden, oversight fades, and the internet narrows—quietly, unevenly, and by design.

Tariffs are reshaping the map.

Trade once meant interdependence; now it means insurance.

Global supply-chains are reorganizing into blocs, and fragility is the price of control.
