The internet was developed under the radar of a lot of powerful institutions -- both corporations and governments -- and gave unprecedented power and control to individuals.
The whole history of how the internet has developed from 2000 onwards is the powerful institutions attempting (mostly successfully) to castrate the internet and make it a place that doesn't threaten their power any more.
I want the old internet back, though I expect what I'm more likely to get is a jackboot stamping on a human face forever.
