«Two myths currently limit our collective imagination: the myth that advertising is the only possible business model for online companies, and the myth that it’s too late to change the way platforms operate. On both points, we need to be a little more creative. While the problems facing the web are complex and large, I think we should see them as bugs: problems with existing code and software systems that have been created by people — and can be fixed by people» – Tim Berners-Lee.

«These dominant platforms are able to lock in their position by creating barriers for competitors. They acquire startup challengers, buy up new innovations and hire the industry’s top talent. Add to this the competitive advantage that their user data gives them and we can expect the next 20 years to be far less innovative than the last. What’s more, the fact that power is concentrated among so few companies has made it possible to weaponise the web at scale» – Tim Berners-Lee.

«We have decided to REMOVE the miner in the app. The next version will remove the option to get free features via mining. This is for three reasons: 1) The company which provided us the miner library did not disclose its source code, and it would take too long for them to fix the root cause of the CPU issue. 2) The rollout had a perfect storm of bugs which made it seem like our company *wanted* to mine crypto-currency without people’s permission, and that goes against our whole ethos and vision for Qbix. 3) My own personal feeling that Proof of Work has a dangerous set of incentives which can lead to electricity waste on a global scale we’ve never seen before» – Magarshak (Calandar 2).

Décidément, la pensée hors sol a pris son envol ces derniers temps… On pourrait parler de la complexité de la régulation aérienne, des conditions d’atterrissage, du risque décuplé en cas d’accident, des inégalités d’accès, du bruit, de la consommation d’énergie… mais cela n’est pas le sujet !

«Collins welcomed the cooperation, but noted that Facebook has still not provided all the information it promised. “I look forward to them sharing with us, amongst other information: the exact number of accounts that they have suspended; how they are resourcing their fight against bots; their methodology of how they identify fake accounts; and how they determine what country those accounts come from».

«Par-delà la fiction collectivement admise que le harcèlement du web est pratiqué par des ados inconscients, des personnes qui n’oseraient dire à voix haute l’inanité de leurs commentaires, Philippe est ce roc imperturbable qui ne bouge pas. Quand tu as soixante ans, que tu fais ça pendant des années, tu es la preuve qu’il n’y a pas de profil type de harceleur».

«Les prétentions à la suzeraineté de ces plates-formes, pour reprendre la formule de Alain Supiot (2) dans Gouverner par les nombres, doit être combattue par la souveraineté des États (comme le fait le RGPD) pour contraindre ces plates-formes à remettre dans le domaine public toutes les données et traces qui sont à leur disposition, données produites par le public et qui méritent d’être reprises, traitées et contrôlées par des organismes scientifiques publics avant d’être mises à disposition des chercheurs dans des conditions précises comme c’est le cas pour les recensements (et donc avec des limites). Les principes de la science ouverte risquent fort de rester des vœux pieux si on ne s’attaque pas dès maintenant à cette prédation des données par l’oligopole de l’attention que constituent les GAFAMT» – Dominique Boullier.

«Finding the killer apps of the decentralized internet will take more time, people, and money than have been thrown at the problem so far. Pakman says that societal attitudes to power and big tech companies appear to be in the right place to deliver them. ‘There’s massive distrust in centralized everything,’ he says. ‘We don’t trust the government, don’t go to church or synagogue, don’t trust banks and now we no longer trust tech companies.’»

How to fix the Future

«One of Andrew Keen most intriguing arguments compares the power of the US tech giants today and the motor industry in the 1950s. At that time, the big three US manufacturers, Ford, GM and Chrysler, were busily churning out flashy and popular cars and controlled 96 per cent of the US market between them. Then in 1965 a young lawyer named Ralph Nader wrote Unsafe at Any Speed, assailing the car manufacturers for turning out lethal products that prioritised style over safety and created carnage on the country’s roads».
