The ability of the internet to link to additional information – information which might exist beyond the formal hierarchy of organizational structure or published material from such an organization – acts as a means of subverting, or bypassing, formal hierarchies.
Internetets evne til at linke til yderligere information - oplysninger, der kan eksistere udenfor det formelle hierarki af organisationsstruktur eller udgivet materiale fra en sådan organisation - fungerer som et middel til at undergrave eller omgå formelle hierarkier.
