Oxford Internet Institute Creates Internet "Tube" Map

First time accepted submitter Jahta (1141213) writes "The Oxford Internet Institute has created a schematic of the world's international fiber-optic links in the style of the famous London Tube map. The schematic also highlights nodes where censorship and surveillance are known to be in operation. The map uses data sourced from cablemap.info. Each node has been assigned to a country, and all nodes located in the same country have been collapsed into a single node. The resulting network has been then abstracted."

We already knew the Internet is a series of tubes.

Ted Stevens would be so happy

Good Old Ted Stevens [wikipedia.org] was proven right once and for all! It is a bunch of tubes!!!

Re:Surveillance + Imprisonment != Censorship?

I'm reminded of an old joke from Poland:
"Oh, we have freedom of speech just like in America! Freedom after speech, not as much."

Times have changed.
