The closed walls of the internet and the disappearing open web

In today’s internet environment, once you own the market and network effects, monopoly is almost the inevitable outcome. Think back to how we used to browse the web: we jumped between different websites. What about now? All content is locked inside a few super apps. News sits on social platforms, videos sit inside short-video apps, and each one is like a walled garden with little connection to the others.

For enterprise IT leaders, this is a huge problem. In the past, you built a website and the whole world could visit it. Now you have to adapt to the rules of major platforms, while your data is held in their hands. This loss of digital sovereignty makes us extremely passive. The open web that was originally designed for everyone is turning into closed data islands. We have not only lost control of traffic; more dangerously, we may be losing the ability to talk directly with users.
