Who Controls the Internet

This thought-provoking audiobook explores the battle for control over the Internet during the 1990s, examining how governments and powerful nations have increasingly sought to influence or regulate the digital space. Through compelling examples like Google's conflicts with France, Yahoo's dealings with China, and the EU’s privacy standards, it highlights the tension between the Internet's original libertarian vision and governmental authority. Goldsmith and Wu present a detailed account of these struggles, suggesting that the future of the Internet will be shaped by the interests of powerful nations and ongoing conflicts.
