i confused about it
-
The internet is a decentralized global network, it is not own by any single entity, a lot of individuals and governments contribute to the development and maintenance of the internets. As a result, the Internet can be considered as a shared global resources, effectively belonging to everyone.

After God comes the government, so since the Internet is man-made, it did not just magically appear out of nowhere, it makes sense to say that it is owned and can be controlled by the government.

At first I thought you are newbie or a newly teleported user but from your profile you are a pioneer user here. And probably you were here when the admin said we should not create one line thread because it is a shit post and after that discussion, many of us who follow that rules didn't do that again and also not to make comments on those thread but we make comments because of the quality comments people have made.
This is one the good thread but you need to add more flesh to the content even though you don't want to reveal the identity of the person or group or group of people invented internet, you can make some comments to enlarge the thread to be quality one. And I don't know a particular person who own internet. And I have not heard any before as well but I will make a research to see if I can see any.

For me, no one or a single entity owns the Internet. It’s a huge network made up of many smaller networks, and different organizations control different parts of it.
-
I wonder why you ask it here when you can google it. For a short answer, it's none. No one owns the internet, it's a network, a global decentralized network composed of so many computers around the world. Well, there are you called ISP but they don't own the internet they have network infrastructures fo them to provide internet connections to its clients as a business.

Different businesses own pieces of it and cooperate with other businesses in order to make cash wealth bla bla bla.
Think back in the day say 1980 no one company owned all the phones lines in the world they made deals with each other and 1980 phones kind of worked everywhere.
But when I was in Australia in 1980 and called New York my mom picked up her phone and she was bell telephone
the phone in Australia was At+t and I have zero idea who owned the cable under the pacific.
I would think six or seven companies allowed the call to pass along the copper wire in order to speak to my mom.
Same thing right now I am using verizon wifi to a fios router. which leaves the house i am in and many companies all over the world agree to let this answer be routed to the readers reading it.

The use of the internet is a connection that has been made through the use of the satellite and those who have succeeded in making it through the connectivity's and other required procedures over it get to use the various networks under it, all we may need to have is our subscription on data to use in connecting, we can manage to have access to it at any time as long as we are connected, i ill say its a decentralized network but monitored and managed by the centralized authorities.

The internet is owned by everyone it's a place where people share information and learn the internet is a collection of shared knowledge from different persons so no single person person actually Owens the internet, the internet nowadays is a place where different persons go and do allot of activities including making a living from the internet. There's nothing that one can do in a society that you can't get from the internet the internet has transform the world today so the internet is owned by everyone who is ready to explore it

This is one of the weirdest questions someone could ever ask in this century when there is Google to provide answers for them.
The internet you asked for, is not owned by any individual or single entity. Your country network server provider works are to provide a network through their interconnected computers and servers.
-
In fact, no one owns the entire Internet but some people are considered worthy owners of it. It means that any person around the world can be involved in the process of policy making on the Internet. But we can say that the Internet has no single ownership. The internet is a self sustaining process so the internet is for people and people control the internet and people own the internet. It can be interpreted far away so you can take it for granted. There is no internet owner who has the power to shut down the internet so you will get a simple idea from this.

I think it makes more sense to look at it as a decentralized global network just as someone mentioned above, if you say it’s owned and controlled by the government, it’ll give rise to lots of questions, like which government owns and controls it? I think the reason it looks like the government controls it is because they use their resources and governmental power and influence to access the internet’s data whenever they wish, which of course any other person can do if they possess the same resources, influence and power.

I completely agree with you. the Internet is not own by any single entity or government, it is a global network of interconnected operating systems that is designed for the purpose of international sharing of knowledge, ideas, communication, trade and so on.

Yeah and that means that no one can actually claim any sense of ownership to the internet because it’s not centralized. The only thing individuals can do is to try to control access to the internet, like regulate or control the price of internet tariffs and so on. That’s the only thing i believe people can do, and not to control the internet itself.

No body has a monopoly over the Internet as it's a network of shared information that is gotten from all over the world every one goes to the Internet for one activity or the other either you are going there to get information from the net or you are sharing information to the net by way of publishing papers in the net for those in the academic field the original idea behind the development of the Internet was primarily a network of computer's that is connected to one source sharing information with each other

I think some entities do have more power over the internet than even goverments.
For example, Google, Meta, TikTok, AWS, X.
Those companies own the infrastructure (cloud ), they own the traffic, they own what we watch in their apps, etc...
Internet is not owned by anyone, but certainly a few entities have some control over the internet.

You know sometimes I just try to sit and phantom the possibilities and the vastness of the internet world, how the world is basically just based on the net now. The world has evolved so much and fast that you can do literally everything online, from getting married, owning a business, to buying groceries, I mean everything, which was initially never like this the millennials. Band still, there’s no say to what extent the internet still Intends to expand to.

The world has indeed evolved into a global village, thanks to the internet. Although while we are all praising the internet and benefiting from its existence and it’s contributions to humanity. There are also those who use this same internet and manipulate it to suit their own selfish agenda, indulging in malicious behaviours thereby making it look sometimes like it would’ve been better that the internet was never introduced. I’m talking about the rate of scam and fraud in our society today, people manipulate this internet and take advantage of naive people, which has become a major disadvantage of the internet today.
