Confinés! Du jour au lendemain. Comme si tout à coup l'espace avait contracté,

comme si désormais le temps s'étirait inlassablement. Et nos vies minuscules

chamboulées, chahutées par l'Histoire qui s'amuse à plisser la surface de nos

certitudes, par le Monde qui ondule invisible jusqu'à https://www.editions-harmattan.fr/_uploads/int_vol2_reunion_12062020.pdf nous. Ecrire pour saisir en mots

ces moments confondants. Ecrire pour se réamarrer au temps et au territoire. Ecrire

pour sortir des confins, écrire pour rêver demain, écrire pour «s'en sortir, sans sortir»

Computer algorithms have invaded the Web

In the beginning was ... Internet. Computers connected to each other through a phone jack. Then came the e-mails, the Web, the personal pages, distant ancestors of the social networks where one told his heart trouble, where one affirmed his political opinions and where one shared pictures of cute cats ...

At that time, the Internet was anarchic, confused ... and free. Then came Google and its revolutionary search algorithm.

A PERSONALIZED AND ECOCENTRATED INTERNET

But what does net neutrality mean?

Net neutrality sees the Internet as a public good.

This unwritten rule was reinforced by Barack Obama and the European Parliament in 2015. It is based on two main principles:

the first is that of the equal treatment of information flows. This means that network access providers, called ISPs (Orange, SFR, or Free) do not have the right to promote access to one information over another. the source, the recipient or the type of information;

the second principle is that of non-discrimination. If we imagine the network as a highway whose traffic is managed by the access providers, the principle of neutrality prevents them from slowing down or blocking a car according to its origin, its destination or the opinions of its passengers. Thus, this principle of non-discrimination guarantees freedom of expression and our fundamental freedoms because net neutrality limits telecommunications companies to the role of simple transmitters that can not restrict access to information.
