Are you using IPLD in a cool way? Or do you know a project that is? If so, please tell me about it! It doesn't have to be fancy computer science magic — I'm interested in "plumbing that gets the job done." For those who don't know IPLD: ipld.io.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked that. I think that @joe_zappa has a point about a business case for social change, but sometimes that can be challenging because if the primary differentiator you have is that you're responsible, that dies with the next market downturn or CEO.

I think the problem described by @UofDigital there is a classic cooperation problem: a lot of people in adtech would actually like to not be jerks, but they only way they see that happening is if others do the same — otherwise they'll get outcompeted. And it's hard to commit.

I would humbly suggest that the impending creation of a PAT WG in W3C would be the right time and place for the industry to get its shit together and walk the talk on this!

For the avoidance of doubt: at no point have I or will I ever give an interview in my capacity as vice-chair of the W3C's Board of directors. Any indication to the contrary is disingenuous.

PATCG was for incubation only, PATWG gets official.
