Mozilla goes incubator with ‘Fix The Internet’ startup early-stage investments
The internet could be &quot;fixed&quot; by regulating advertising.  In the beginning there were rules.  No commercial use.  When that was lifted we started the descent into where things are now.  It began with a lawyer posting an ad about immigration services to Usenet.  It has come a long way since then.  All the while, the web browser has supported always advertising, making it easier and easier to consume ads, buy and sell via the web.<p>People in the 1990&#x27;s who wanted &quot;e-commerce&quot; got their wish.  Certain companies and individuals have become wealthy beyond imagination.  Companies are hording cash.  However it is not an equal playing field.<p>Governments have heretofore been unwilling to regulate.  Some, those who are proifiting from the status quo, might say this is starting to change.  Even if this is true, the change is very slow.  In Mozilla Corporation&#x27;s domicile, there has been no significant change.<p>Mozilla is funded indirectly by advertising.  Their funding comes from Google.  Google&#x27;s funding comes from advertisers.
