Cowardly techbros with more money than God won’t defend truth. But they’ll collect data all day long.
Our new debate over free speech in the digital age seems to hinge on whether you believe attempts should even be made to arbitrate truth. By contrast, the analog Western world was constructed upon Classical Enlightenment ideals of truth-seeking, the pillars of science, law, arts.
Big Tech, profit-seeking all aspects of life, has constructed an increasingly prevailing infrastructure for digital societies, consequently displacing the Enlightenment architectures of the analog world, and along with it, democratic governances that had developed over centuries.

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard The Collaborative Economy is rapidly expanding, but it is dominated by centralized web platforms which hold user data and concentrate all decision-making power and profits. 2/10
@p2pmod @BKCHarvard The idea of the @p2pmod project is to tackle these issues, replacing the centralized web platform with a #DAO on the blockchain, so we reduce the difference of power between the "infrastructure owner" and the user community. 3/10
Feel creepy eavesdropping on participant break chatter on #platformcoop livestream...but I don't want to miss the program resuming.
(I'd think nothing of it if I were at #platformcoop-& wish I was-but wish they'd mute the mics as folks prolly don't know they are live)
That said, creepiness aside, the chatter made me feel inspiringly unoriginal; oddly like listening in on my own conversations #platformcoop
