What If You Controlled the Internet?

You may think of it as something that helps you communicate with
your friends, laugh at memes, and binge-watch your TV shows. Others might think of it as a way to make money, perform illegal activities, and maybe even spread propaganda. Regardless of how you use it, the internet is arguably the most powerful tool in the world. So what would happen if you controlled it? How powerful would you be? What websites would you control? And could this actually happen?

Take a deeper dive into What If episodes with the help from the world's top thinkers in science.
