Global Internet Regulations in 2025: Privacy, Censorship, Surveillance, and Globalist Control

I’m sounding the alarm on the accelerating wave of global internet regulations that threaten personal freedom, privacy, and economic sovereignty. In 2025, governments, supranational entities, and Big Tech are tightening their grip on the digital landscape, cloaking their actions in the guise of “public safety,” “misinformation control,” and “data protection.” But let’s cut through the noise: these measures are less about protecting citizens and more about consolidating power, stifling dissent, and paving the way for globalist control over our lives, wallets, and voices.
The State of Global Internet Regulations
Across the globe, governments are enacting laws to regulate online content, access, and user behaviour. According to Freedom House’s 2023 Freedom on the Net report, internet freedom has declined for 13 consecutive years, with 70% of the world’s internet users facing some form of censorship. From China’s Great Firewall to the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), the trend is clear: states are asserting unprecedented authority over digital spaces. Listen to a conversation between Joe Rogan and Mike Benz.
Starting with Asia: China and India lead with AI-driven censorship and mandatory identity verification for online access. China’s “National Information Network” isolates users from global content, while India’s laws require platforms to remove content deemed “illegal” under vague criteria, often targeting dissent.
In the Middle East: Countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia impose broad bans on platforms hosting dissenting voices, using facial recognition and surveillance tech to track users.
In Europe: The EU’s Digital Services Act enforces strict content moderation, with inconsistent application across member states. Age-verification systems for adult content in France, Germany, and the UK signal creeping restrictions on anonymity. In United States Debates over Section 230 and state-level laws create a fragmented regulatory landscape. The absence of federal data privacy laws leaves the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) scrambling to address commercial surveillance, while misinformation crackdowns raise concerns about free speech. A record 296 internet shutdowns occurred across 54 countries in 2024, often tied to elections or protests, costing economies over $7 billion. Myanmar and India led with 85 and 84 shutdowns, respectively
Privacy Under Siege
A Censorship Tool To Surveil & Silence Everybody
Privacy is eroding at an alarming rate. Governments and corporations are harvesting data with impunity, often under the pretext of “protecting citizens.” Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), AI-driven moderation, and mandatory digital IDs are becoming standard tools for tracking online behaviour. In the U.S., the lack of comprehensive data privacy legislation allows Big Tech to amass troves of personal information, while the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) risks being watered down by corporate lobbying. Globally, authoritarian regimes export surveillance tech creating a web of mass monitoring. Then there is the threat of digital IDs being used to freeze bank accounts for non-compliance with government mandates, such as vaccinations or speech restrictions. This isn’t just about data—it’s about control over your financial freedom and personal autonomy.
Censorship: Silencing the Sovereign Voice
Censorship is no longer just a government affair; it’s a public-private partnership. Platforms like YouTube, X, and Google are remove content under vague definitions of “hate speech,” “misinformation,” or “extremism.” In 2024, 48 countries pursued legal action against tech companies to enforce censorship, often targeting political dissent or marginalized voices. Meanwhile, countries like Ukraine, Turkey and Belarus heavily censor political media, with journalists and activists facing imprisonment for their posts. This has a chilling effect: creators and commentators self-censor to avoid deplatforming, limiting open discourse on economic policies or government overreach. This isn’t safety—it’s narrative control.
Surveillance: The Globalist Panopticon
Surveillance is the backbone of these regulations. From Russia’s SORM technology to China’s facial recognition systems, governments are building infrastructures to monitor every click, post, and transaction. In 2024, Myanmar’s junta rolled out VPN-blocking tech to trap citizens within censored networks. Even in the West, the push for digital IDs—touted as a way to “secure” online spaces—raises red flags. We have warned of IDs being linked to financial systems, enabling governments to punish dissent by cutting off access to funds. The export of surveillance tech by companies like France’s Amesys and Germany’s Trovicor, often to authoritarian regimes, shows how complicit Western firms are in global repression.
Why the Australian Online Safety Act needs to be shut down
Liberal Senator Maria Kovacic has revealed Australia’s eSafety Commissioner makes her own policies and rules, without review of parliament! Govt gave her unchecked powers, forcing Aussies to ID themselves and have their every online movement monitored. The eSafety Commissioner in Australia, who has the authority to develop, regulate, and enforce her own policies without parliamentary oversight, a power granted by the Online Safety Act 2021, which significantly expands online safety protections but also concentrates authority in one unelected position. This concentration of power is problematic because the eSafety Commissioner’s decisions do not require parliamentary scrutiny, and her role, including mandates like requiring adults to log into accounts to browse the internet, exceed the original intent of the legislation, potentially infringing on personal freedoms and privacy.
These are futile efforts towards Globalist Control
Let’s connect the dots. These regulations—sold as protecting national security or curbing misinformation—are a stepping stone to a globalist framework where unelected entities dictate what you say, see, and spend. The UN, EU, and even U.S. policymakers are flirting with centralized digital governance, from coordinated censorship to digital currencies (CBDCs). For those of us who value sovereignty, this is lurid. Digital IDs tied to financial systems could mean governments freezing your accounts for wrongthink—criticizing migration, questioning mandates, or exposing economic mismanagement. Well, they can’t do that. The Lord gave us the Internet. Nobody can hold it from us
