It's very interesting to read Dave's analysis here. What he's seen Amazon do to books, Google has done to news (and the web at large). In both cases we are seeing monopolies (ab)use the structure of technology to outcompete pillars of democracy while offering no replacement. t.co/LgJonoRRGN

Good institutions are strong and maintain checks and balances even when those in power lack a sense of ethics. The question before us is: how do we make the web a good institution that it currently isn't? I hope CAT can contribute to an answer.
