Como um punhado de gigantes da tecnologia controla a internet
September 18, 2023 -
Entrar na internet em busca de notícias, ou várias outras interações
casuais, requer acesso a um computador, a um sistema operativo e
a algum navegador – todos controlados por um punhado de empresas.
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.
