Who runs Owner of the Internet

· 4 min read

Who is behind the site

Two questions show up a lot. Who is on the homepage right now, and who is behind Owner of the Internet? The first one changes whenever someone claims the homepage. The second one doesn’t. Blackbird Corporation runs it. If you need us, write to hello@blackbirdcorporation.com.

That’s the operator, not a character in the joke. About is the short version. Terms and privacy are the long one.

What the crown actually is

What we run is small on purpose. One URL. One owner. Their live website, cropped from the top, sitting where a brand would usually drop a hero video. We don’t move anyone’s domain. We don’t sell IP space. We put a site on a page we already own, then we say that’s the whole trick.

If you know it’s a homepage stunt, you can still have fun with it. If you think you’re buying the internet, you’re in the wrong shop. The previous owners list is public so this doesn’t look like a nameless gag.

What we will and won’t host

Anyone with an HTTPS site can try to sit. That’s the fun part and the messy part. We’ll pull junk, phishing, and anything we don’t want on the front of the site. Bring something you’d put on a projector.

Visited is a real count we store. Online is whoever is on the page right now, as best we can tell. How the numbers work if you want the boring version.

Common questions

Who operates Owner of the Internet?
Blackbird Corporation. Email hello@blackbirdcorporation.com. The site is a promotional homepage at ruletheinternet.lol, not a company that sells the internet.
Do I legally own the internet if I claim the crown?
No. You get the homepage on this site until someone else claims it. We don’t move domains or IP space. See the about page and the terms if you want that in writing.
