What can be done?
Not only should the internet be more open, secure, and accessible to everyone, it should be decentralized and free of government control to avoid shutdowns. Social media companies should also take seriously the alarming level of hate speech and fake news that takes place on their platforms, and how much it has increased on a global scale. At the same time, these companies should be audited to avoid further violation of our privacy and security.
