What if the paradigm we're using to think about about tech regulation is all wrong -- but the solution is all around us? Some new writing from me in @WIRED (with h/ts to @ethanz and @ubiquity75 among others). @ me.

Cory Doctorow on the dangers of ideological purity and why he’s supporting the #FreeOurFeeds project in federating Bluesky:

But it’s a model that has thrived elsewhere in tech: the open web. Email. Podcasts. Wikipedia is one of the best examples — a collaborative project to create one of the web’s best free, public resources. Let’s do the same for social media.

Today’s one for the history books: Mastodon is becoming an independent non-profit, and Bluesky is supporting #FreeOurFeeds taking their AT Protocol in the same direction.
It's time to reject the corporations and billionaires that suppress free speech and force algorithms and unwanted content into our social feeds. Mastodon is built by the community, and today we’re announcing independent non-profit ownership! Join us in embracing the future of social media: decentralized, community-driven, with users first. #MastodonNonProfit

So thrilled to be working with folks like @audreyt, @doctorow, @shoshanazuboff, @Moonalice and @jimmy_wales on #FreeOurFeeds. We’ve got a chance here: Bluesky’s open protocol is an incredible opportunity to reimagine social media and take it back from fickle billionaires.
#FreeOurFeeds is raising funds for an independent, public-interest foundation to support Bluesky’s underlying technology, with their approval. It’s an ambitious project to protect our freedom and choice as social media evolves.
