It was never "stolen" because "you" never owned it in the first place. The internet infrastructure has always been a monopoly.

- goldenkey 11y agoIt is kind of great to think that though the phone lines held all the bandwidth, we escaped those, right? Which means that escaping the most popular and dominating websites should be considerably easier..I like the federation idea.
- krapp 11y agoBut all you have to do to escape the most popular and dominating websites is not use them. People act as if Facebook and a few other sites have literally become the web but they haven't. Extremely popular, yes, but it's not as if the web gets smaller when Facebook gets bigger. Even the linked article uses the term "land grab" as if there was a limited amount of "web" to go around.
