"The internet has not become the great leveller that it was once thought it could be," according to Harvard academic Ethan Zuckerman.
Mr Zuckerman was speaking at the TED Global (Technology Entertainment and Design) conference in Oxford.
He said that the web was now contrary to the original utopian vision and users focused on information from a handful of wealthy countries.
