A lot of the time when people say 'open internet,' what they really mean is the 'open web,' which is not quite the same thing.
I think of the open web as non-paywalled publishers who are largely monetizing on the basis of selling ads either directly or programmatically.
The web refers to websites, and 'internet' refers to anything using internet protocol to send data. For example, streaming Disney Plus via an app is not technically 'the web'.
Some debate exists over whether platforms like Disney Plus should be considered part of the 'open internet,' depending on their ad monetization approach.
