The Internet is Shrinking
(And We’ll All Pay the Price)
The internet used to be limitless, open to anyone with an idea. Now, it’s a polished prison run by tech giants. Is this the future we signed up for? Here’s how Big Tech quietly turned freedom into captivity.
Remember when the internet felt infinite?
When every click could lead to something wild, wonderful, and new?
Those days are dying.
Today’s internet is a cage. Sure, it’s bigger than ever — but we’re trapped in digital zoos built by tech giants. Google. Facebook. Amazon. Apple. Microsoft. They’ve carved up the web into their private empires, each one a glossy prison of convenience.
The untamed digital frontier where anyone could build the next big thing is all but gone. Instead, we shuffle between prescribed platforms, our choices funneled through corporate filters, our creativity confined to pre-approved templates. We traded freedom for comfort, exploration for ease-of-use.
This isn’t just nostalgia talking. It’s about power. While we scroll through sanitized feeds and click through curated content, a handful of companies are quietly reshaping humanity’s digital destiny. The real question is: are we okay with letting them?
