“What about an Internet that serves us all?
Have you ever wondered why centralized servers sit in the middle of our online conversations? Seems ridiculous, doesn’t it? Why would we let a corporation moderate how we communicate with each other? Do we really want an Internet that treats us as the product rather than the participant?
