Why the Internet isn’t interesting or valuable to 20% of the population
From my book:
“Leave it to the experts” may work in a number of environments, especially those constrained to traditional top-down hierarchical structures, but the Internet’s open platform makes such traditional constraints outmoded and even damaging. Joshua Breitbart, policy director for the People’s Production House, in a talk about the importance of featuring diverse perspectives when addressing Internet access inequality, stated, “We knew from our allies that policy should be driven by the people most affected by it. So we figured, if you want to make the Internet work for more people, you don’t leave the policy decisions to the people for whom it already works perfectly.”
