Who Should Control The Internet?

In today’s social internet, a powerful few control nearly all of our online experiences as well as the vast amounts of corresponding data that goes along with those experiences. What you view, what you like, who you tag and where you are is not owned by you but by a select number of extraordinarily large tech companies. You’ve heard of these companies — Facebook, Google, Twitter and TikTok — and they are all centralized Web2 platforms that “own” the majority of our online existence. While much of the Web3/decentralized internet chatter feels like marketing hype right now, the core value proposition of Web3 is exciting.

Web3, if executed correctly, could fundamentally disrupt the consolidation of power we see today to go from “big tech” to “people tech.”
