Founder of Pirate Bay / Sunde: Zuckerberg is the greatest dictator of today

There are more and more those who believe that a "monster called Facebook" took control of and took control of "our virtual lives".

Such is the opinion and the founder of the legendary Pirate Bay site, Peter Sunde.

Without hair in the language, Sunde is a critic's day on the Internet.

"Everything went wrong. In fact, everything that could go wrong was gone, and it's no longer a question of what will happen in the future, because we have already lost this war. Now everything comes down to controlling the damage," Peter said.

"We have decided to centralize all of our data and push them into the hands of Mark Zuckerberg, who is practically the greatest dictator of today because he has not been chosen to determine the way we all go, but that's exactly what he does."

"The Internet was originally conceived as a decentralized space, without complete control, but we all actually centralized this story, which has overtaken the Internet itself. We no longer create, not really tangible services and products, everything is moved to the virtual world, which is again centralized and controlled by the greatest ones. "

When mentioning the biggest one, Sunde thinks of the "big five": Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon, who bought everything that was worth in the world of technology and interience over the last decade and virtually "sucked in" potentially stand-alone startups.

"Everyone is excited when it comes to autonomous vehicles, but have you thought about who owns them? Or, who has control when information is where these vehicles are going, where they are laughing, where they can not ...? No, I do not want to be I drive in such cars, "said Sunde, who believes that the chance for an open internet without the control of the" biggest "has long been lost.

"Now it's too late to return, it's too late to believe that something can change. The only chance is that big companies, who control everything, stand on the path of the EU and the United States and limit their power.

Unfortunately, neither the EU nor the United States have any intention of doing so, and you yourself conclude why. The story reminds us of cigarette addiction: we know it's harmful, but we can not stop it anyway, "Peter Sunde concluded in a conversation with The Next Web.
