What can our most-read content of 2025 tell us about what’s next?
A snapshot of insights from our top 10 articles.
Last year, we actively engaged in the WSIS+20 review process. Among the many civil society contributions, this article highlighted the importance of diverse voices. Treating non-state actor input as an add-on is not enough. We need more inclusive and accountable multilateral governance!
🌐 The United Nations General Assembly concluded the high-level review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS+20) with the adoption by consensus of the outcome document assessing twenty years of implementation of the outcomes of the WSIS.

Listening to this sweeping talk by @pluralistic I can't help but see parallels to the #HackerManifesto
There's a glimpse at a different #DigitalWorld in addition to a thorough criticism of current trends.
"A post-American Internet"? The talk shows that the #Internet and #Cyberspace are far from elusive, untouchable realms but instead are very real in terms of #Power. The digital world is very much shaped by the US which for years has unsettled other states and puts further strain on the #Multistakeholder approach, which in the words of Milton Mueller was enacted specifically to make sure, no one government would dictate the rules of the Internet.
Really interesting is the observation, that we might be at a tipping point for #DigitalGovernance. A new coalition emerges thanks to #Trump, bringing together such different groups as Digital activists and national security hawks for #DigitalSovereignty
The talk is a great illustration of the importance of #TechGeopolitics and picking up many themes I've also addressed in my newsletter like #TechDebt. Subscribe here: https://explore.ghost.org/p/nicolas-zahn

"Nooit meer pauze! Scholieren over opgroeien in digitale systemen"

Dit is waarom eerlijk digitaal onderwijs zoveel meer is dan alleen BigTech de klas uit sturen. Als wij het hebben over publieke waarden, en pleiten voor opensource, dan is dat ook omdat je dan je digitale omgeving samen met alle betrokkenen samen kunt ontwerpen. Ook samen met leerlingen in een multi stakeholder model.
Negotiation processes in the UN are remembered not just for what came out of them, but also for what they were like, who participated, and how they were conducted. People who participated in the first World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) back in 2003 and 2005 often talk about the process, its challenges and its achievements.
