Yasha Levin: The Internet as a Weapon – What Google, Tor, and the CIA Are Hiding
Is the internet a tool for democracy and progress, or a weapon of mass surveillance? In The Internet as a Weapon, investigative journalist Yasha Levin uncovers the hidden history of the relationship between Big Tech and U.S. intelligence. From the early use of networked technologies during the Vietnam War to the modern-day, often-shadowy cooperation between Google, Amazon, Facebook, and government agencies, Levin traces how the infrastructure of the web was shaped by state power.
This book raises urgent questions: How secure are your personal data, messages, and search history? What is the real connection between the Tor anonymity network and the NSA? Why did students in the 1970s protest the very idea of a networked world, and who crafted the narrative to “clean up” the internet’s reputation? Whose interests do Edward Snowden and Julian Assange truly serve? And is the CIA protecting Google, or the other way around?
The Internet as a Weapon pulls back the curtain on Silicon Valley’s hidden history—a story usually kept out of the headlines. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about privacy, surveillance, and the true power dynamics behind the screen.
