Un keynote di Maciej Cegłowski da un suo discorso su come pochi big player globali controllino internet oggi, e di come quei big player siano tutti americani.

Cosa che per noi europei può essere un problema.

Facebook is the dominant social network in Europe, with 349 million monthly active users. Google has something like 94% of market share for search in Germany. The servers of Europe are littered with the bodies of dead and dying social media sites. The few holdouts that still exist, like Xing, are being crushed by their American rivals.

In their online life, Europeans have become completely dependent on companies headquartered in the United States.
