About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will discover the monopolistic and anti-democratic drifts of the GAFA.
You will also discover that :
- Web companies are extending their domination further and further into new sectors;
- Their economic power endows them with a growing political influence, threatening democracy;
- Google and Facebook have replaced traditional media, devaluing the work of authors and the quality of information;
- Their algorithms are in fact a means of conditioning your online behavior and restricting your scope of knowledge;
- There is still time to oppose these monopolies by refusing to give up your freedom and privacy against their services.
The Internet has given rise to a new kind of company: conglomerates that are increasingly expanding their fields of activity (search engine, social network, media, personal assistant, GPS, etc.) and aiming for monopoly status. These giants are called Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft (hence the acronym GAFA). These monopolies are all the more dangerous because they plan to revolutionize society and human nature. By promising you ever more personalized services aimed at making your life easier, they exploit your most precious assets: your attention, your privacy and your freedom of conscience. Their omnipresence and saturation of information - arbitrarily selected - prevents you from thinking for yourself. Artists and journalists are the first victims of this new system. Don't wait any longer to rebel against the Web giants and regain your freedom!
