Earlier this month, I gave the afternoon keynote at the Internet Archive’s Decentralized Web Summit, speaking about how the people who are building a new kind of decentralized web can guard against their own future moments of weakness and prevent themselves from rationalizing away the kinds of compromises that led to the centralization of today’s web.
The talk was very well-received — it got a standing ovation — and I’ve heard from a lot of people about it since. The video was heretofore only available as a slice of a 9-hour Youtube archive of the day’s proceeding, but thanks to Jeff Kaplan and the Internet Archive, I’ve now got a cut of just my talk, which is on the Internet Archive for your downloading pleasure and mirrored at Youtube (There’s also an MP3).
