US internet spying is going to lead to the creation of splinter networks which will eventually kill off the net, the search engine Google has warned.

According to Reuters, Google warned that the development of splinter nets could hurt US business.

Richard Salgado, Google's law enforcement and information security director, told Congress the search engine outfit should be allowed to provide the public more information about government demands for user data.

He said that the lack of transparency about the nature of government surveillance in democratic countries undermines the freedom and the trust most citizens cherish, it also has a negative impact on our economic growth and security and on the promise of an Internet as a platform for openness and free expression.
