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
