Hello, All:
Is anything happening in Europe or elsewhere to try to make it
easier for governments to censor the internet?
I ask in part because I just posted a comment to the strategy
discussion about "Revenue Streams" suggesting we might be able to get
major philanthropies to fund development of noncommmercial Wikisocial
that social activist groups could help popularize to counter the
Balkanization and exploitation of the international body politic by
commercial media, especially social media like Facebook.[1]
I posted something on this two years ago to Wikiversity,[2] and I
gave a lightning talk on it at Wikimania 2018.[3] I'm seeing more
evidence that it's needed and that people working for social change
might see how leaving Facebook for some kind of Wikisocial could help
them become more effective. Tomorrow, I plan to post similar comments
with with the "Partnerships" discussion.
However, I'd be please to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
