 Can internet giants effecively rule the world? Where is the ultimate authority, or controller of the internet. Can it ever be shut down, or even secions of it? See That Google have just been fined €1.5 billion, the third fine for them in 2 years. Are these financial penalties, effectively, the only sanctions available against internet giants? Could they ever be shut down, and by what authority? If their search engine was to be shut down: is that even possible, can that leave email open etc?

What if they don't want anything switched off, who has the power to switch them off?
