The internet came to mobile phones – against the convictions of web designers. Then WordPress came along with the solution. That's when web designers around the world stopped programming themselves. But these ready-made websites from WordPress and Co. came at a price. Big Tech thus took over the internet in 2007 – completely.

When Big Tech completely took over the internet – in 2007, the first iPhone hit the market. That was the moment when Big Tech completely took over the internet. How did I come to this conclusion? We will see the logic behind this process in the next few minutes.

The iPhone no longer had the large keyboard of its predecessor, the Blueberry, but instead had a large screen with letters on it. Touchscreen was the name of the innovation. This solved the problem of having to operate the cell phone without a mouse! On this mouse cinema, you could now also view websites, at least in theory, because you couldn't see anything. They were too small.

The media applied pressure. They wanted to get the internet onto cell phones. And when Silicon Valley wants something, millions of articles follow in the media. And they got what they wanted - against the convictions of web designers. The internet came to cell phones. But what about the websites being too big for the small screens of cell phones? Web designers racked their brains.

If you compare it to a print magazine: the magazine is divided into three vertical columns, for example. Only one column can be displayed on a mobile phone. Three columns are simply not readable on a mobile phone because they are too small. So, to put it simply, they were looking for a way to display the same website in one or three columns, depending on whether it was being viewed on a PC or a mobile phone. Implementing this across an entire website seemed impossible. Then WordPress came up with the solution!

At the time, WordPress was already creating ready-made websites for blogs so that they didn't always have to be reprogrammed. WordPress solved the problem of different screen sizes with coordinated CSS, so that a website is displayed in one or three columns depending on the screen size.

That's when web designers around the world stopped programming themselves because it was too complicated for them. From then on, they filled the WordPress website with text and images and uploaded it to the internet. But these ready-made websites from WordPress and Co. came at a price: WordPress and Co. have integrated all the tools, all the free Google tools. The free Google tools that send visitor data to Silicon Valley. These tools were built into WordPress for convenience. Google had programmed them in advance and made them available to the internet community.

Today, virtually all websites send their *own* users' data to Silicon Valley. Worldwide, every Internet user, 24/7, all year round, using websites such as WordPress and the like. Ready-made websites are basically like ready-made pizzas: not so healthy, not so digestible for visitors. And the whole thing was only possible because the Internet came to mobile phones.

This permanent mass surveillance is never discussed. It exceeds by far the effects of hackers, Trojans, and data retention, which are often reported in the media. It runs like clockwork every day without causing a stir. This surveillance by Silicon Valley is built into ready-made websites. It works every day, every month, all year round. And every self-programmed website remains 100% surveillance-free.
