When the US stops being the main topic on the internet then you'll know it's over. As it stands everyone is still fully obsessed with America. Their cultural dominance is far from over.
I'd expect the US to be the main topic on the English speaking internet far after its global dominance ends. I highly doubt that Canada or Australia (let alone the UK) are going to take English speaking dominance any time soon.
That's just deterrence. Pax America (used to) mean something much more than that.

That too is a thing but distinct from what Pax Americana has meant for the last 70 years or so.
