Is the Internet Becoming Less Open? | WebProNews.
Although the issue of Web openness has been mostly quiet of late, it was revived after Google’sSergey Brin made some powerful statements to the Guardian. According to him, the freedom of the Internet is under a greater threat than it has ever been before.
“I am more worried than I have been in the past,” he tells the Guardian. “It’s scary.”
Brin also indicated that he and fellow Google co-founder Larry Page would not be able to build their search engine in the current Internet environment given restrictive players such as Facebook. He categorized both Facebook and Apple as “walled gardens” saying they have too many limitations within their services.
As one can imagine, Brin’s statements have gained a considerable amount of criticism. What’s more, his perspective has also reignited the debate over what true openness actually is and what real threats lie with it.
