"On #openprotocols, individual providers may address threats within their own systems, but lack the network-wide capacity to address coordinated activity across infrastructures or protocols. This is a gap that commercial actors have little incentive to address…
This points to the safety and integrity of the #publicsquare being coordinated as a critical #publicfunction, backed by #publicfunding. The practical implication is a core of publicly provisioned infrastructure."
