Revisited: "Locking the Web Open: a Call for a New, Distributed Web"

On 1 March 2016, Brewster Kahle delivered an insightful lecture on the importance of the Open Web and how we might work together to keep the Web open.

“20 years after the World Wide Web was created, can we now make it better? How can we ensure that our most important values: privacy, free speech, and open access to knowledge are enshrined in the code itself? In a provocative call to action, entrepreneur and Open Internet advocate, Brewster Kahle, challenges us to build a better, decentralized Web based on new distributed technologies. He lays out a path to creating a new Web that is reliable, private, but still fun—in order to lock the Web open for good.”
