In the Clutches of Platforms. How to Take Back the Internet

A critical essay by independent internet theorist Geert Lovink on the changes that have occurred in the internet over the past few years, from brexit-trump-covid19 and geopolitical division to cancel culture, NFT, and crypto art. The analysis of dependence on centralized platforms turns into a story about new alternatives built on a deep understanding of the digital downturn.
