37:36Now Playing"In Internet for the People," Ben Tarnoff explores the broken state of the internet, attributing its problems to private ownership and profit-driven operations. He traces the transformation of the internet from a research network to a capitalist powerhouse through a process of privatization, which has resulted in issues like privacy breaches and the amplification of propaganda. Tarnoff advocates for deprivatizing the internet as the solution to these crises, envisioning an internet where people hold power instead of profit. This involves reducing the influence of market forces and dismantling the dominance of tech giants like Google and Facebook. Instead, he proposes publicly and cooperatively owned alternatives that prioritize democratic control. The goal is to challenge the existing ownership and organization of the internet, aiming not for a more market-driven version of privatization but a complete overturning of it. By doing so, the internet can be reclaimed as a platform that serves the interests of the people rather than a select few executives and investors who prioritize market demands.
