Description

In this episode of the More Freedom Foundation podcast, hosts Rob and Ruairi dive into a number of transformative ideas for tech industry reform, primarily those presented in Cory Doctorow's groundbreaking book, "The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation." Drawing upon Doctorow's principles, among others, they explore just a few of the many approaches to fixing the inherent flaws in Big Tech and reclaiming control over the digital landscape.

Join Rob and Ruairi as they look into Doctorow's vision for a more equitable and decentralized internet, one where power is distributed among users rather than concentrated in the hands of tech monopolies. From advocating for interoperability and data portability to promoting open-source software and user-owned platforms, the hosts explore practical strategies for dismantling the existing structures of dominance and fostering a more democratic digital ecosystem.

Tune in to this episode for an enlightening exploration of a new era of digital freedom and empowerment.

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
