Interesting piece from Bobbie Berjon: The Public Interest Internet

  • What if the internet were public interest technology? I mean “internet” the way most people understand it, which is to say our whole digital sphere, and by “public interest” I don’t mean tinkering at the margins to reduce harm from some bad actors or painting some glossy ethics principles atop a pile of exploitative rent-seeking — I mean through and through, warts and all, an internet that works in support of a credible, pragmatic definition of the common good.
