A screenshot of a tumblr post from user civilizationkills. It reads: Beginning in the mid-1990s, the internet complex was promoted as inherently democratic, decentralizing, and anti-hierarchical. It was said to be an unprecedented means for the free exchange of ideas, independent of top-down control, that would level the playing field of media access. But it was none of these. There was a short-lived phase of naïve enthusiasm, similar to the unrealized hopes voiced at the wide availability of cable TV in the 1970s. The narrative now - of an egalitarian technology endangered by monopolistic corporations, the rescinding of net neutrality, and invasions of privacy - is plainly false. There never was or will be a "digital commons." From the start, internet access for a global public was always about the capture of time, about disempowerment and depersonalized connectedness. The only reason the internet seemed "freer" or more open initially was because the projects of financializing and expropriation did not occur all at once and took a number of years to reach an acceleration point in the early 2000s. For transnational corporations, universal access to the internet allowed the reshaping of both work and consumption into 24/7 occupations, freed from the constraints of time or location. This also created vast and interrelated possibilities of monitoring and solicitation of anyone online, and the simultaneous intensification of social privatization.

A Simple Reminder To Have Fun Online 🖥🖲💙🛸🐬
An excerpt from a textbook that reads: "Things you read on a blog might make you angry. They might upset you. Stop visiting that blog. Don't waste your time posting comments. Move on and find a new blog. There are so many fun blogs on the Internet. You'll easily find a better one". There is a photograph of four smiling youths looking at a laptop.
