[At-Large] [ALAC-Announce] A briefing by the European Commission

[Christian de Larrinaga]

As CCPA is overt about. These issues are basically considered "business"
measures applying to businesses doing business in a territory over one
or more thresholds.

So they will increasingly be managed in "Trade Deals". 

Which of course puts ICANN back in its box (regulatory wise).

I don't see this causing "Internet" fragmentation in the sense you lose
logical global end to end connectivity but it may well lead
to disparities in service availability in the same way that you have to
have a local licence to play a DVD in your region or perform a song in
public.

So it is very likely that the availability of services from particular
business and regulatory entities will increasingly fragment.

I note that today being in the UK someone ism no longer eligible to register a .eu domain for
instance. That has nothing to do with "privacy" rights and everything to
do with politics.
