The control of info comes with whomever has the power and possession of the info. Info is something that works best when it is being shared. That’s where the internet got started. There was a mass network of data being held in the hands of those who had it, and found a way to share it to the world. Claude Shannon mentioned in one of his writings that information has meaning, and how that can lead to the discovery of other info. By using a medium, being the internet, people now have the access to something that was once limited in availability. This is a way of saying that the internet is the communicator of the message, and the receiver is whoever wants to find that information. Even though information works best when shared, I still think there was info back then that people didn’t want to make public. The person who has the info is in control of it, so who’s to say there wasn’t information that was not put out to the public at the time?
