Deprivatizing the Internet

    Deprivatizing the internet would provide a lot of benefits to social services. The corporations that own it have monopolized each organ of the beast, developing it to addictive perfection, often at the expense of the user's health. Social media, for example, is severely detrimental to mental health, not to mention the threat of misinformation. Allowing public entities like libraries to govern the internet would prevent the greedy motivations of capitalists from infringing on our health and privacy. All our data would be protected by laws that internet companies have so amazingly been immune from. Most importantly, deprivatizing the internet would keep our defenses strong against cyber warfare and political manipulation.
