Snowden files unveil US attempt to control Internet

The world-shocking global surveillance by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) is just the beginning of the spook organization's sprawling efforts to control the Internet, show new revelations attributed to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The NSA is "planning for wars of the future in which the Internet will play a critical role" and seeking the ability to destroy enemy infrastructure remotely, German magazine Der Spiegel revealed in a recent report, citing "top-secret documents" from Snowden's archive it has seen exclusively.
