Is it true that the internet was supposed to be a place where people could share information and not make money?

Yes, that’s right. The original idea behind the Internet was that everyone would be able to access the same information at the same time. However, as the Internet has grown, many people have realized that there are lots of ways to make money on the Internet, including selling products online, advertising, and providing services. This has led to some people feeling like they don’t want to share their personal data with others, which is why we now have things like “data protection” laws in many countries.
