That was a headline written by the journalist, and not a statement she actually made. The interview is linked from her wikipedia article, and concerns that she thinks people will "spend less time" to "mindlessly surf" the Internet, i.e. that it will be overtaken by large businesses. You could probably argue that either way, but it's interesting to see that even contemporary history is written like the saying goes.

Well, she said the heading wasn't an exact quote, but also not a misrepresentation. From an interview in 2016 she admits that while the headline was 'click-baity' it was not unreasonable given what she had said in the interview, also stating:
'My colleagues were upset over it being a misquote, but that was not really the case.'
