When Twitter made sweeping changes this week — changes that I find largely unhelpful, and in some cases, counterproductive — it really drove home for me that a service I consider to be a fundamental part of my day-to-day internet activity is a privately-offered venture, accountable to no one…
Insightful post about the power and potential of the internet not just as a “basic human right,” but also “right” that can be taken advantage of by privatized and often partial companies because of the support and tools they provide for the internet. Totally agree on further involvement of the UN in regulating the interwebs during this fascinating digital age.
