I think we face the usual problem of working on and implementing policy for yesterday’s issues.
* We are coming out of ten years of Blockchain mess
* Now we are into #AI mess, the is no intelligence in the current round, only artificial writing.
Let’s look at what actually matters
The original openweb had #4opens in this context #opendata is the issue we are talking about.
We then had 20 years of the #dotcons with #closeddata. Which you have talked about.
Coming out of this, we have an active openweb reboot happing with federation and opendata.
For example with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, #bluesky and #Nosta which have grown from half a million to 10 to 15 million users over the last year. #WordPress building #ActivityPub support for a quarter of the internet and #Failbook‘s #threads.
You are seeing a different world back to #opendata, if you run a mastodon instance you will have a large part of the content of the Fediverse sitting in your database in plan text….
Take this into account with policy and regulation please
