Dubbed Project Waterworth, the infrastructure aims to link the United States with India, Brazil, South Africa, and other regions, bolstering global connectivity and supporting artificial intelligence (AI) development.</p> <p><strong>The expansion:</strong> The company, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, sees the high-capacity, 24-fiber-pair system as a critical investment in both digital inclusion and AI advancement. More than 95% of the world鈥檚 internet traffic already flows through subsea cables, highlighting their importance for economic and technological progress. Meta did not disclose the full cost, but previous estimates suggest the company could spend over $10 billion on the initiative.</p> <p><strong>Vulnerability and Security:</strong> Subsea cables are vital to global trade and communication, carrying trillions of dollars in financial transactions daily. However, their vulnerability is a growing concern. Recent incidents, including severed cables in the Baltic and East China Seas, have fueled suspicions of state-sponsored sabotage. NATO and other security organizations have ramped up surveillance in response.</p> <p><strong>Meta’s security measures:</strong> <a href="https://engineering.fb.com/2025/02/14/connectivity/project-waterworth-ai-subsea-infrastructure/">Meta insists</a> it will mitigate such risks by burying cables deeper and reinforcing them in high-risk areas. The company frames Project Waterworth as an effort to democratize access to AI and digital services, though some observers see it as a strategic play for greater control over global data infrastructure. Regardless, as AI reshapes industries, the race to secure faster, more resilient connectivity is only beginning.</p> <div class="affiliate-box"> <span style="color:pink;">NORDVPN DISCOUNT</span> - CircleID <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">x</span> NordVPN<br> <a href="https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=109931&url_id=902" class="affiliate-box-link" target="_blank">Get NordVPN</a> [74% +3 extra months, from $2.99/month] <!-- <div class="toggle-container"> <div id="toggle-header" class="toggle-header">10 facts about NordVPN that aren't commonly known</div> <ul id="toggle-list" class="toggle-list"> <li><strong>Meshnet Feature for Personal Encrypted Networks:</strong> NordVPN offers a unique feature called Meshnet, which allows users to connect their devices directly and securely over the internet. This means you can create your own private, encrypted network for activities like gaming, file sharing, or remote access to your home devices from anywhere in the world.</li> <li><strong>RAM-Only Servers for Enhanced Security:</strong> Unlike many VPN providers, NordVPN uses RAM-only (diskless) servers. Since these servers run entirely on volatile memory, all data is wiped with every reboot. This ensures that no user data is stored long-term, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches and enhancing overall security.</li> <li><strong>Servers in a Former Military Bunker:</strong> Some of NordVPN's servers are housed in a former military bunker located deep underground. This unique location provides an extra layer of physical security against natural disasters and unauthorized access, ensuring that the servers are protected in all circumstances.</li> <li><strong>NordLynx Protocol with Double NAT Technology:</strong> NordVPN developed its own VPN protocol called NordLynx, built around the ultra-fast WireGuard protocol. What sets NordLynx apart is its implementation of a double Network Address Translation (NAT) system, which enhances user privacy without sacrificing speed. This innovative approach solves the potential privacy issues inherent in the standard WireGuard protocol.</li> <li><strong>Dark Web Monitor Feature:</strong> NordVPN includes a feature known as Dark Web Monitor. This tool actively scans dark web sites and forums for credentials associated with your email address. If it detects that your information has been compromised or appears in any data breaches, it promptly alerts you so you can take necessary actions to protect your accounts.</li> </ul> </div> --> </div> </div> <!-- post footer --> <div class="footerByline"> By <strong><a href="https://circleid.com/members/501" class="blue-u">CircleID Reporter</a></strong> <span class="authorBio"> — <em><p>CircleID’s internal staff reporting on news tips and developing stories.
