Summary
Cory Doctorow presents a transcript of his speech "A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet" delivered at the 39th Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg. The speech discusses the concept of 'enshittification' - the degradation of internet platforms as they prioritize shareholder value over user experience, and advocates for a decentralized, user-controlled internet that resists this trend. Doctorow draws on his 25 years of activism with the Electronic Frontier Foundation to argue for regulatory and technical solutions to create a more resilient internet ecosystem.
