Many people claim the Internet is broken. But is it? While it technically still works, there is a lot of truth to the claim. Let’s look into what it means. Usually the main arguments for the claim are a monopolized Internet in the hands of a few large corporations. Inventions like Web3, Blockchain and other decentralized solutions aim to put the Internet “back into the hands of the people”.
