Quand ce sont les hackers qui le crient depuis des années, bien peu de médias prennent la peine de les écouter, mais quand Sergey Brin , milliardaire co-fondateur de Google, prend la parole dans une interview exclusive et s’exprime sur les menaces qui s’élèvent contre un Internet ouvert et libre , l’impact n’est semble-t-il pas du tout le même ! Rares sont les personnes ayant autant d’influence qui acceptent de s’exprimer franchement sur ce genre de problématiques, et rien que pour ça, Brin mérite notre plus grand respect…
The principles of openness and universal access that underpinned the creation of the internet three decades ago are under greater threat than ever, according to Google co-founder Sergey Brin . In an interview with the Guardian, Brin warned there were "very powerful forces that have lined up against the open internet on all sides and around the world". "I am more worried than I have been in the past," he said. "It's scary." The threat to the freedom of the internet comes, he claims, from a combination of governments increasingly trying to control access and communication by their citizens, the entertainment industry's attempts to crack down on piracy, and the rise of "restrictive" walled gardens such as Facebook and Apple, which tightly control what software can be released on their platforms.
