摘要

There are two contrasting narratives of the Internet. The first sees the Internet as a platform that enables free access to and publication of information across borders, while the second sees the Internet as increasingly restricted by powerful stakeholders who control access to content and consequently people's behaviour online. For Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, the dominant narrative is the latter. He believes that 'powerful digital gatekeepers whose algorithms can be weaponised by master manipulators' are becoming more powerful and correspondingly the days of the Internet as a 'permissionless space for creativity, innovation and free expression' (Solon, 2017) are past. Accepting this as her premise, Monica Hor-ten's book The closing of the net examines the ascendancy of corporate control of the Internet, how corporate power shapes the Internet and increasingly determines its content. Specifically, Horten examines the lobbying strategies of corporations to promote their business interests and how they aim to shape policy and law. Strategies that she suggests will have far-reaching consequences for the Internet and its 3.5 billion users around the world (ICT, 2017).
