Who actually owns the internet you use every day?
In short: As large corporations and governments tighten their grip on the web, digital privacy and information access are under threat. Web developer Tamas Kocsis explores how a decentralized network could return power to everyday users.
Kocsis argues that the current trajectory of the internet favors centralized control, which poses a direct risk to individual freedoms. He outlines specific threats to digital privacy and proposes a structural shift toward a decentralized model.
The goal of this alternative network is to redistribute power away from monolithic entities and back to the people. By moving away from centralized hubs, the internet can become a more open space for information and user autonomy.
