For all of you screaming to the rafters about how Substack is a Nazi platform, why aren't you also screaming about Cloudflare? I'm genuinely curious.
---
"Last week I saw a post on Medium where some guy said he’s leaving Substack because Andrew Tate hit the bestseller list and because they host Nazis and he just can’t, anymore. Can’t support a company who profits off hate and abuse.
I wanted to say dude, you better get off the internet.
Because more irony. Medium runs on Cloudflare. lol.
Substack, too. Do a whois search on Substack.com, you’ll see it right in their whois. Nameservers; cloudflare.com. We’re all feeding Cloudflare profits and supporting the companies that prop up everything from the rape academy to AI generated porn and every other abuse whether it’s Amazon, Google, Cloudflare, Grok, or any Ai company."

For decades now, the traditional telcos keep trying to find ways to get newer companies to pay them... whether it is dressed up as " #FairShare " or #NetworkFees or "dispute resolution" or whatever... in the end they are flawed ideas that are solutions trying to find problems (that don't exist). My @internetsociety colleague Carl Gahnberg writes about concerns with the European Commission's proposal for the #DigitalNetworksAct / #DNA ...

#InternetGovernance #BigTech #InternetRegulation: [T]he Internet is still full of promise but nebulous in its contours. There’s a reason that the current debate over its control is so fraught. How the Internet is governed—and who does the governing—will determine what the Internet is. The stakes in the ongoing tussle between nation-states and markets are, in other words, not merely managerial; they are also existential.
Will the Internet harden into an oligarchic playground, or will it become the tamer (and perhaps less innovative) place envisioned by European regulators, something akin to a digital public utility? Will large sections of it eventually bend to the power of tyrants and illiberal populists, determined to stamp out what Xi Jinping has castigated as the network’s “hidden negative energy”? Or will the more consequential influence be the model that India is pioneering, a walled garden in which private enterprise is allowed to flourish, but within confines established by the state?
The answer may at least partly lie in how—and where—the Internet is being used. In 1996, when Barlow wrote his manifesto, there were some eighty million Internet users around the world, eighty per cent of whom lived in North America and Europe. Today, there are more than five billion people on the Internet, roughly two-thirds of them from countries in the Global South. India and China now account for about half the world’s mobile-data traffic; the fastest-growing population of users is in Africa. The Internet remains a work in progress. But there’s reason to think that its future is being written in a very different place than its past was."

#InternetGovernance #InternetRegulation: "To summarise, we are traversing an epochal change and we lack the institutional capacity to complete this transformation without imploding. We could well fail, and the consequences of failure at this juncture would be catastrophic. However, we can collectively rise to the challenge and an exciting assemblage of subfields is emerging to help. We can fix the failed state that is the Internet if we approach building tech with institutional principles, and an Internet that delivers on its cooperative promise of deeper, denser institutional capacity is what we need as a planetary civilisation.
We don’t need a worldwide technical U.N. to figure this out. Rather, we need transnational topic-specific governance systems that interact with one another wherever they connect and overlap but that do not control one another, and that exercise subsidiarity to one another as well as to more local institutions. Yes, it will be a glorious mess — a Cambrian mess — but we will be collectively smarter for it.
Governments are struggling to handle this because of decades of underinvestment in institutional infrastructure on top of the friction between territorial boundaries and globally networked governance. The internet’s megacorporations are struggling because they are stuck in dated Engineer King ideologies — Thorstein Veblen’s “Soviet of Technicians” — and are limited in their thinking by the ingrained belief that technology is apolitical. They cannot build the future.
There is no purely technical fix for our predicament — evidently — but for the technologists amongst us focusing on the architectural properties of our technical decisions, on how technical architecture creates or constrains institutional mechanisms, and how technology works with governance is key. To take but one example, the best governance model that is available in a client/server architecture is benevolent dictatorship."
