Mozilla Internet Health Report: restrict Google, Amazon & Facebook

The Mozilla Foundation today released the Internet Health Report 2018. The report briefly calls for the regulation of large companies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook.

"They exclude competitors, limiting innovation in the process," the report said.

“As their ability to understand the vast amounts of αυξάνεται μέσω την πρόοδο της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης και της κβαντικής πληροφορικής, είναι πιθανό να προχωρήσουν σε παρακείμενες επιχειρήσεις μέσω κάθετων ενσωματώσεων σε hardware, λογισμικό, υποδομές, αυτοκίνητα, μέσα ενημέρωσης, εκτός αν βρούμε έναν τρόπο να τους σταματήσουμε.”

The Internet Health Report does not attempt to examine and rate the “” του διαδικτύου ή να διαγνώσει προβλήματα.

False news and propaganda, (see Facebook), as well as weak Internet security (IoT), refer to the report between trends affecting the real world.

"By 2020, we will have up to 30 billion devices, including insecure webcams, baby monitors and other devices that can be used as a [data collection] weapon," the report said. "With every device without a password, the internet becomes a little more fragile and dangerous."

The authors of the report cited as an example the use of malware Mirai, which gained control over a number of Internet devices (IoT) and played an important role in a DDoS attack on Dyn.

The Internet Health Report says that censorship and online harassment have gotten worse, but also some good news about internet access, of data and affordability.

Today, almost 70% of Firefox web traffic comes from encrypted pages that use HTTPS.

Overall, the report finds that the number of Internet users around the world continues to increase, but it also states that prices should continue to decline in order to gain even more access.

The Internet Health report is an open source initiative implemented with the help of Mozilla Techniques, Digital Rights Activists and Researchers.
