His ideas have Merit but I don't know that they are sustainable and we have to think a lot more about this as he is doing and as are others. Putting content control back into our hands and securing our layers of the World Wide Web are if you'll forgive the pun truly solid ideas.

The much more difficult thing to fix and where I believe the darkest of problems that is in the mix now is the social media and social network models. We want connection to family and friends and colleagues. Here I am despite concern because of exactly the social relationships.

But there are very serious problems with social networks and the first begins the moment we click a terms of service agreement. Have people really read those? They are written in boring long legalese so we tend not to. We go right for the check box without Clarity of terms.

When a social network terms of service has agreed to typically speaking our content is no longer ours but belongs to the network. Freedom of speech? If you've ever been in Facebook or Twitter jail you know it doesn't exist on those platforms. But it gets much darker.

So who is responsible for that on social networks well the first and foremost goal of a social media company is profiteering. They want to make money and it is not the domain of freedom or open or multi-stakeholder in fact the opposite. Single or small stakeholder models.

So what do we do? It's not exactly easy to reject the reality that social networking has become a part of our very existence. Children and adults now care more about social networks in riding a bike or being in nature or spending non-online time with F2F friends and family.

For me it goes back to a long and well enjoyed nerd Creed. We do it for the many not the few or the one. It is the many of us who can bring about change but that means protest and resistance. That is scary in a world of deep fake. it is conflict and it can be violence and death.

So we just shut up and take it? We're doing it. Do I have answers I don't. I have ideas. We strengthen the internet and World Wide Web as open free accessible multi- stakeholder. We build social networks free of terms of service. We cap profits and encourage philanthropy.

We stopped engaging in binary conflicts and begin adopting discourse and debate of ideas and individuals but you know what that takes self-control and even I can tell you I have not done that. I am however making a commitment to you 2 only have conflict with ideas not people.

I am but one small real voice in a large pool of humans and artificial pseudo intelligence, harmful advertising and manipulative devices like fake news or purposeful misinformation. I can only ask your thoughts ideas and hopes to expand upon my own.

A final comment about surveillance and manipulation online I've heard a thousand times I have nothing to hide. Maybe you don't but every single person you connect with is also revealed when your data is revealed so remember it's not just about you it's about your contacts as well
