Thesis 12 – Back to protocols that no one owns
Email, the world wide web, and IRC still work without a single company in charge.
New open protocols such as ActivityPub (Mastodon), Nostr, Matrix, and IPFS are ready for everyday use.
They are not perfect, but they belong to no one — and therefore can never be enclosed again.
Every day we use them more, the monopoly of the five gatekeepers becomes weaker.
