The internet was supposed to be a free, open, and revolutionary space—but somewhere along the way, it was stolen. In this eye-opening episode, we uncover how big tech monopolies, government surveillance, and corporate greed gradually seized control of the digital world, turning what was once a decentralized information highway into a data-mined, profit-driven, heavily monitored system. Who really owns the internet? How did giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon rise to power, dictating what we see, share, and believe? And how have governments used mass surveillance, censorship, and data collection to manipulate the web into a tool of control rather than freedom? We take a deep dive into the early days of the internet, the rise of Silicon Valley powerhouses, and the critical moments where control slipped from the people to corporations and intelligence agencies. From net neutrality battles to the hidden forces shaping online discourse, this episode exposes how the internet was hijacked and what that means for our future. Can the web ever be taken back? Or are we now permanently plugged into a system designed to track, manipulate, and control us?
