At the UN today to talk about the internet and human rights. The WSIS+20 is a look back at when the UN's first negotiated statement on the "information society" established the Internet Governance Forum and other things.

Core question: What does the information society look like in 20 years?

This was a great convo. Now you know what I really think about big tech and "Open_Internet_v2.0."
For this week’s podcast, Justin Hendrix spoke with Mallory Knodel from the Social Web Foundation and the Internet Exchange and Burcu Kilic from CIGI. The conversation revolved around a post they wrote for the Internet Exchange titled “Big Tech Redefined the Open Internet to Serve Its Own Interests."

Let's not forget that Washington, DC never recovered from the Great Recession, and was then further made to suffer under neoliberal privatization. Helpful read given today's current solutionism:
