The Internet’s Broken Promise

Cory Doctorow and Tim Wu are calling out the internet for failing to live up to its early hype. It’s supposed to be a tool that sets us free, but it’s mostly just a platform for corporations to make money and spies to snoop.

A False Sense of Freedom

Remember when the internet was supposed to be this amazing, liberating thing? Yeah, that didn’t happen. Now it’s just a place where you can buy stuff, watch videos, and get spied on. Doctorow and Wu say it’s time to take a hard look at what’s gone wrong and how we can fix it. It won’t be easy, but someone’s gotta do it.
