"Visions for a New Web"

"Introduction
When Sir Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989, it was meant to facilitate the exchange of scientific data between researchers around the world. Over the years, it has mutated into a digital landfill with a cloud of data smog hovering above it, filled with commercial advertisments, dancing baloney, clickbait, fake news, AI posing as humans, solicitors, snooping agents, identity thieves, phishers, scammers, spammers, and crackers. As a result, trust in basic institutions like the government and the press has eroded, and we are left confused, with few things to believe in.

High priests and gatekeepers ruled through sheer obscurantism and gaslighting the masses into thinking that they are less than capable of running their own lives. Talking heads and panels of experts browbeat us into choking down our voices, and engage with their endless dissections of issues of no actual relevance, while ignoring what is meaningful to us.

In this article, I offer a few ideas to shape how we use the Internet in this century. The aim is democratization, and giving a voice to everyone, including marginalized people who were kept by a gauntlet from voting in a so-called democracy."

• Identities — the Public, the Private, and the Anonymous.
• AlohaCoin — the cryptocurrency for Wealth Redistribution.
• maLcoLM — the Ethical AI.
• cool:// — the Web de-enshittified.
• SpamFree — the end of SPAM.
• Worker-owned Co-operatives — the shape of work in the 21st century.
