Just tuned into the livestream in time to hear @Baratunde introduce @nabihasyed's discussion with @RamaswmySridhar & @robreich.
This is a fantastic program, full of remarkable people speaking to the hardest questions about tech, industry society, & #UnfinishedLive is free online.

I am now experiencing some breathtaking FOMO.
Haven't been to a good conference like this since before the pandemic.
Best part of events is always the hallway discussions.
(#UnfinishedLive COVID-19 protocols look solid: mandatory vaccination + masks indoors. Nothing on testing.)

What does a Freedom of Information Act for corporations & platforms look like, asks @nabihasyed?
Such a wonderful question, & important idea.
It seems these #UnfinishedLive folks aren't the right folks to answer, but the US FOIA Advisory Committee does:

Ongoing participatory democracy enables Taiwan to counter the pandemic with no lockdown, & counter the infodemtc with no takedown
Collective intelligence = digital public infrastructure

Taiwan has shown the world how digital democracy can work in peacetime & pandemic times: consilienceproject.org/taiwans-digita…

WIth @audreyt's leadership, Taiwan has shown how digital technologies *can* effectively be used to build stronger, more open, more accountable democracies under withering pressure from disinformation campaigns, authoritarian nations, & remorseless viruses. wired.com/story/how-taiw…
Taiwan shows how political debates are shaped by platform engineering.
US companies made platforms that keep people engaged with polarizing, angry content, which undermine democratic integrity.
Platforms designed for consensus drive different outcomes:

"Measuring government responses to citizens’ concerns in hours is important because it demonstrates to citizens that they have agenda-setting power. That is the beginning of each & every deliberative space."– @audreyt noemamag.com/the-frontiers-…

The "Web 3.0" frame #UnfinishedLive feels awkward.
Who else is trying to shift "users" locked surveillance capitalism platforms to creators with portable data in a distributed Web?

Declaring DSNP is "Web 3.0" & the next HTTP: dsnp.org/hello-world/ scans as hyperbole, not an expert consensus about a standard for a metaverse or decentralized WWW woven of sensors, data, & AI.

Contrary to what was just asserted at #UnfinishedLive, the scale of energy consumption associated with cryptocurrency mining is not just a "PR problem."
I don't think @gavofyork took on the issue directly, nor was there a followup restating the question.

Ample, deserved lashing of tech giants & centralization on stage #UnfinishedLive, but almost none of cryptocurrencies or solutionism.
