In this video, we look at the physical structure of the internet, with a focus on submarine internet communications cables. Jumping from the bottom of the OSI stack all the way to Layer 9 ("political"), we then discuss how different countries use their political power to enforce internet blocks on their citizens, leading us to warrantees wiretapping in AT&T's room 641A.
