Medium Post - Internet

I found this article to be both interesting and unsettling. The article is expressing that the open and free spirit of the internet might be coming to an end. The author argues that there has been a troubling emergence of overly-dominant companies, such as google, and all too frequent government interventions. I agree that this is a major risk for the well being of the internet since it owes the majority of its success to being unregulated. Accordingly, allowing the internet to be open and unregulated stimulates innovation. Now that these major entities see the immense value of the internet, they want to monetize and regulate it which would be disastrous for the entrepreneurial and connect community that benefits from it daily. Given the history of similar technologies and the internet, the best approach for the future would be to leave the internet an unregulated arena with equal opportunities for all users.
