I caught some of the talk on ‘Who Controls the Internet?’ with Maryant Fernandez and Chris Riley.

White dudes in Silicon Valley controlling a lot of tech is a big problem. Much more diversity is needed. Not white saviour complex but genuine flourishing of tech from all around the world. It’s all already there but it’s stifled.

Monopolies/anti-competition is a big problem. They tended to focus on regulation. Around interoperability, data portability.

I don’t think capitalism was mentioned at all?
