The Internet is about to become free again, and here's why

Once upon a time, the Internet was an island of unprecedented freedom, where millions of minds from all over the world discussed ideas that would change the world. We don’t want to make it too dramatic and say that this is all over. Today the Internet is still great, but of course not as free as it used to be. Strengthening control and monopolization have been some of the main Internet trends over the last several decades.

Corporations like Apple, Google and Facebook control and monetize your every move. Authorities and intelligence agencies can monitor your online activity, delve into your finances, and read personal communications if an official request is received. All traffic passes through centralized data centers controlled by authorities and media corporations.

And even if you use cryptocurrencies, VPNs and private browsers, you are still under the radar. The modern Internet is still centralized by nature. But that may soon change. And here are three companies that are behind these changes.

SpaceX - https://www.starlink.com

Starlink, a satellite Internet project from SpaceX, improves Internet access in remote and sparsely populated areas of the world where traditional providers cannot offer their services.

This makes the Internet more accessible and reduces the level of control over the Internet infrastructure. Internet connections via satellites are independent of local infrastructure on the ground. The access point directly connects directly to the satellite in orbit. This reduces the influence of national regulators and increases freedom of access to information.

Today, the Starlink infrastructure is already used by more than 2.4 million users , and the number of satellites has already exceeded 5800.

OneWeb, Telestat and other companies are also working on similar projects.

Tor - https://www.torproject.org

Tor, or The Onion Router, is a system designed to provide anonymity on the Internet. It allows users to hide their location and Internet usage from anyone analyzing network traffic.

Here's how it works:

User data passes through randomly selected servers (nodes) located around the world. Each node encrypts the information before passing it on to the next, adding a layer of encryption, like layers on an onion.

The nodes are run by volunteers, which promotes decentralization. Each node only knows the IP address of the previous and next node, but not the full route, which provides a high level of anonymity.
Thus, the Tor browser helps users bypass geographic restrictions and censorship, provides access to blocked resources, and protects personal data from third parties.

Dexnet Technology - https://dexnet.one

Dexnet Technology is a decentralized peer-to-peer network with its own independent communication channels between nodes. Unlike the classical architecture, Dexnet provides access to decentralized services such as the cloud or mobile communications. This gives you access to a truly free, secure, private Internet.

Dexnet product list includes:

  • Node for accessing the decentralized data storage DexNODE
  • Decentralized wallet DexSAFE.
  • The world's first completely decentralized mobile operator DexMOBILE
  • And others…

Dexnet consistently advocates for privacy and decentralization. Last year, they sponsored the NEW TRADE SPHERE 2023 event, which received a total of more than 120 thousand views. And this year, Dexnet is the general sponsor of the technology conference NEW TECH SPHERE 2024 and is giving away cool gifts for true connoisseurs of decentralization!

The conference will be held on June 22, 2024.
There, invited speakers, including Dexnet CEO Alexey Kedo, will talk about new technologies and financial opportunities related to data storage decentralization.
