Now a funny thing happened when the Internet matured: for profit-corporations tried to gain monopolies over the network effect of the Internet.

Google used their dominance in search to wield dominance in news, maps, advertising, etc.

Facebook built social networks to monopolize a network effect, and shape it to its will.

Even old tech like email was compromised as corporations felt it was within their interest to contract the reach of the network effect.
