You could call it the facebook effects nominally. The web is/was the key open technology of this era.
Collaborative efforts had a lot of successes. Wikipedia turned out to be a good encyclopedia, which seemed laughable/impossible initially. Linux, obviously. The www itself. Open, collaborative, organized outside of a corporate body. These were big, impressive wins. AOL and others who tried to compete with openness head on failed.
FB succeeded. Or rather, around that time a lot of these wins started being accumulated within a more standard corporate frame. FB controls who sees what and doesn't share. Twitter is a company that controls a protocol. Android is, philosophically and business-wise the anti-thesis to the goals you mentioned.
"Hackers changing everything working together" is now stuff that HR talks about... entirely coopted.
