Translation : Fanny Berlingen
Far from the open network it was in its early days, the Internet is now more and more monopolised by a few private and ubiquitous actors: the much talked about GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft). As services get centralised and data kept under surveillance, will the Internet – or rather the Web – soon come down to a search engine, a social network and an online shopping website? Has the Internet come to an end ?
Whether it be about the Web or the email, WiFi networks or personal data encryption : come and learn about local, free and ethical alternatives to develop your/our digital independence !

In May 2017, he published L’appétit des géants. Pouvoir des algorithmes, ambitions des plateformes (Giants’ appetite. Algorithms’ power, platforms’ ambitions), in which he highlights the emergence of “giants with an insatiable appetite”, that we generated by feeding them with our data.
