The New Internet Stack with Mozilla: Personal Data, Decentralization and Open Source?

Liberty. Equality. Data.

What are the movements and technologies that make up the new Internet stack? We are joined by Mark Surman, the executive director of the Mozilla foundation and an open source and free Internet activist for decades, to talk about the current landscape with personal data becoming a catalyst for change of the Internet, something larger than simply blockchain or decentralization, but a movement toward a more level playing field and open Internet ecosystem. 

We talk about:

  1. Uber drivers have tried creating "unions" using the power of data access requests (GDPR)
  2. Why data access requests cost $1400 per request to comply with and how that may push new innovation
  3. Personal AI can emerge to truly represent the individual interests, not corporate interests
  4. Personal Data resembles open source in the 90s and how experimentation with new value propositions and ways of using data can create something similar to the establishment of open source as a way of using software
  5. New initiatives to process data in the users session, to let data stay with the individual to produce value, such as recommendations
