Will the internet end up controlled by big business and politicians?

Mark Zuckerberg, John Naughton

What is it about?


  • Its about controlling the internet ever since the Internet became popular in 1993. 
  • WCIT-12 was nevertheless a significant event in the evolution of the internet because it demonstrated that the war to control the network not only goes on, but is increasing in intensity.
  • The fact that Facebook brought Instagram and they had updated the T&C's and said that they can use people's pictures without their consent links to monetizing. This means that they some what 'own' users relates to control
  • "There are probably 200 million people now who think that Facebook is the internet."
What do I think?

I think that the internet is going to take over everything we do, its happening already. Especially how people think Facebook is the internet. It just shows how dependant people are and at the end of the day, people like Zuckerberg only concentrate about updating their site in order to make money. The main objective is to be the most controlling network/business.
