Cómo un puñado de gigantes de la tecnología controla internet
September 18, 2023 - Entrar en línea para ver noticias, o realizar una serie de interacciones casuales, requiere acceso a una computadora, a un sistema operativo y a algún tipo de navegador – todos controlados por un puñado de corporaciones.
Going online to catch-up on news, read social media messages, buy groceries, or a host of other casual interactions, requires access to a computerised device, an operating system and some form of internet browser, search engine or specialised app – all of which are controlled by a handful of huge global corporations.
In the United States, Apple dominates mobile devices, Alphabet (Google’s parent company) commands more than half the market share in browsers and online searches, and Meta controls all three of the most popular social media services.
