Stuck on the Platform: Reclaiming the Internet A plea to reclaim the internet from addictive platform capitalism. Geert Lovink diagnoses this condition and suggests exit strategies, proposing a techno-social exodus movement, campaigns to break up monopoly platforms, rebuilding the internet as a public infrastructure, and removing certain corporations from internet governance bodies. The author's work has been championed by prominent scholars in the field of media theory. In this book, Lovink analyzes the toxic symptoms of platform capitalism and outlines a path forward for a more democratic and equitable online environment. Published in 2022, Stuck on the Platform is a thought-provoking exploration of the internet's role in society, offering a critical perspective on the current state of online culture.
