The Web threatens
By reading this article about the monopolization of some websites, we understand that the Web can become a threat if we do not use it properly. The Web can be a threat for people who do not know how to use it but it is also being threatened by some others forces which want to make it more closed. For example, some authoritarian governments or institutions are closing access to information provided by the Web because they think it does not fit with their values but in other terms they are destroying human rights. The major problem the Web is facing is the control on people's behavior. Web users think that they are free because they can say whatever they want but often, online regulators control and allow or not this freedom of expression.

The access to information by internet can effectively be a threat because it disable many people, who don't know how to use it but also can't offer a computer and an internet connection, to have access to some information only present on websites. It is the case of websites like the UNWTO or many economical websites offering the possibility to follow the actuality and act about it appropriately. Internet is more and more present in the world and in everybody's life, the world is moving and it makes it very hard or impossible to follow this world and its news for many people on earth which divide this world depending on the education and on earning and financial capabilities.
