@couldrynick This framing around the three crises of governability, solidarity, and freedom is quite nice, also in terms of foregrounding what is at stake. But most of the sort of 'agenda' for each of these points is basically calling out everything that is currenty going wrong (driven by data colonialism/capitalism) and insisting on the right to say no. We also need affirmative visions (plural) of what other worlds could be possible. I am increasingly interested in what those might be.

@hrwiltse Sorry I missed your message at the time. Fair point - my talk was intended as a provocation, not as a set of solutions. The last two chapters of my and Ulises Mejias's book Data Grab offers perspectives on solutions. On social media, I have a book coming out in the fall which argues for rebuilding social media on federated lines. As regards AI, I am starting a new book about that. So I hope - gradually - to answer your fair question
