    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[--- Mike Masnick in 2019.
--- I don't disagree that shifting back from platforms to protocols would, in many ways, make for a healthier Internet.  But it's striking to me that this essay (like, I feel, most similar pieces, making similar pleas) fails to really reckon with a couple of basic points:
1. There are economies of scale in _running_ an online service, even if it had an open protocol at its base.  Think just of fighting spam (and, IMHO, spam is ultimately what killed Usenet).  (I used to think otherwise, back in the early- to mid- '90s, and some stuff I wrote then to that effect might even still be online somewhere, but I was very, very wrong.)
2. Normal people do not want to spend a lot of time comparison-shopping service providers.
These two together are going to tend to re-create centralization spontaneously, daily, hourly, and on a mass scale.  One could imagine _regulatory_ approaches to counter that, but crafting and implementing the regulation would be tricky.  And the imagination of these essays does not even go there.  Instead, it being 2019, the author makes some hopeful noises at using crypto coins (!) to support decentralized protocols.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The book describes the Internet, and how Internet governance prevents it fragmenting into a ‘Splinternet’. Four opposing ideologies about how data flows around the network have become prominent because they are (a) implemented by technical standards, and (b) backed by influential geopolitical entities. Each of these specifies an ‘Internet’, described in relation to its implementation by a specific geopolitical entity. The four Internets of the title are: the Silicon Valley Open Internet, developed by pioneers of the Internet in the 1960s, based on principles of openness and efficient dataflow; the Brussels Bourgeois Internet, exemplified by the European Union, with a focus on human rights and legal administration; the DC Commercial Internet, exemplified by the Washington establishment and its focus on property rights and market solutions; and the Beijing Paternal Internet, exemplified by the Chinese government’s control of Internet content. These Internets have to coexist if the Internet as a whole is to remain connected. The book also considers the weaponization of the hacking ethic as the Moscow Spoiler model, exemplified by Russia’s campaigns of misinformation at scale; this is not a vision of the Internet, but is parasitic on the others. Each of these ideologies is illustrated by a specific policy question. Potential future directions of Internet development are considered, including the policy directions that India might take, and the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, smart cities, the Internet of Things, and social machines. A conclusion speculates on potential future Internets that may emerge alongside those described."

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[--- I'm sympathetic, honest I am, but I have so many questions:
- When the people who run local school boards, or zoning commissions, are in charge of local social networks, and they decide that certain topics and/or presentations of self are Bad and Wrong, what then?  (Everyone from every ideological position can offer their parade of horribles here, and they will all be true somewhere.)  You _could_ say that since these services are to be provided by local governments, the First Amendment has to apply, but I am somehow doubtful that Tarnoff, or anyone else, would be happy with the result.
- We're going to have every local library run content moderation/anti-abuse systems now?  With what resources?
- Alternatively, these local democratically run social networks are going to contract the work of filtering out spam, death threats and kiddie porn to more specialized and _hopefully_ expert services, and now what exactly have we gained?  (Especially because similar forces will push towards centralization of lots of components.)
- There is an astonishing lack of awareness of economies of scale in this whole editorial.  (This even applies to the question of _why_ cable service is a natural monopoly in every locality.) 
- Corporate profits, after taxes and depreciation, are about 8% of national income [https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/W273RE1A156NBEA].  Let's say that these sectors currently have an unusually capital-heavy composition of their income stream, so that a full 25% of income there goes to corporate profits.  Let's zero that all out.  (Of course for something like Uber, that would be a substantial improvement.)  We've cut the cost to consumers by _a quarter_.  So let's be extra generous and ramp that up to 1/3.  Do we seriously believe that if these services were 1/3 cheaper they'd suddenly become much better?  That broadband at $100 is just not accessible in rural America, but at $66 a month it is?  (Pushing rural broadband is a good idea!  It needs government action!  Supporting cooperatives is worth trying!  But wiring North Dakota is going to be more expensive than wiring Belgium for _material_ reasons.)
- Worker-owned ride-hailing apps making all the sense in the world; more power to them.  (I enjoy a fair amount of workplace democracy and want more people to have it.)  There will still be conflicts of interest between (i) current taxi drivers and potential entrants, and (ii) taxi drivers and (potential) riders, and democracy within the workplace will do nothing to alleviate them.  _We will still need regulation_.

--- In summary, the fact that this brief essay provokes this much of a reaction from me means I should probably just read the book when it comes out.  But I might ask the library to get it...]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The internet has become a battleground. Although it was unlikely to live up to the hype and hopes of the 1990s, only the most skeptical cynics could have predicted the World Wide Web as we know it today: commercial, isolating, and full of, even fueled by, bias. This was not inevitable. The Gentrification of the Internet argues that much like our cities, the internet has become gentrified, dominated by the interests of business and capital rather than the interests of the people who use it. Jessa Lingel uses the politics and debates of gentrification to diagnose the massive, systemic problems blighting our contemporary internet: erosions of privacy and individual ownership, small businesses wiped out by wealthy corporations, the ubiquitous paywall. But there are still steps we can take to reclaim the heady possibilities of the early internet. Lingel outlines actions that internet activists and everyday users can take to defend and secure more protections for the individual and to carve out more spaces of freedom for the people—not businesses—online."

--- This sounds like a horrible analogy [*], but it might still be a worthwhile book.

[*]: Space in a neighborhood is finite, "rival" and priced; all the negative effects of richer outsiders moving in to a poor neighborhood follow from this.  None of this applies to "space" on the Internet.  (Well, there's a finite number of IP addresses, but that's not the issue.)  Also, one issue with gentrification is "sanitization" towards certain higher-class norms of respectability and decorum.  This is conspicuously _not_ the case with the Internet and it's even one of the complaints given here!]]></description>

With the unwitting help of its users, the generative Internet is on a path to a lockdown, ending its cycle of innovation—and facilitating unsettling new kinds of control.

"IPods, iPhones, Xboxes, and TiVos represent the first wave of Internet-centered products that can’t be easily modified by anyone except their vendors or selected partners. These “tethered appliances” have already been used in remarkable but little-known ways: car GPS systems have been reconfigured at the demand of law enforcement to eavesdrop on the occupants at all times, and digital video recorders have been ordered to self-destruct thanks to a lawsuit against the manufacturer thousands of miles away. New Web 2.0 platforms like Google mash-ups and Facebook are rightly touted—but their applications can be similarly monitored and eliminated from a central source. As tethered appliances and applications eclipse the PC, the very nature of the Internet—its “generativity,” or innovative character—is at risk.
"The Internet’s current trajectory is one of lost opportunity. Its salvation, Zittrain argues, lies in the hands of its millions of users. Drawing on generative technologies like Wikipedia that have so far survived their own successes, this book shows how to develop new technologies and social structures that allow users to work creatively and collaboratively, participate in solutions, and become true “netizens.”"

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The upside of the Internet is free Wi-Fi at Starbucks, Facetime over long distances, and nearly unlimited data for downloading or streaming. The downside is that our data goes to companies that use it to make money, our financial information is exposed to hackers, and the market power of technology companies continues to increase. In The Flip Side of Free, Michael Kende shows that free Internet comes at a price. We're beginning to realize this. Our all-purpose techno-caveat is “I love my smart speaker,” but is it really tracking everything I do? listening to everything I say?
"Kende explains the unique economics of the Internet and the paradoxes that result. The most valuable companies in the world are now Internet companies, built on data often exchanged for free content and services. Many users know the impact of this trade-off on privacy but continue to use the services anyway. Moreover, although the Internet lowers barriers for companies to enter markets, it is hard to compete with the largest providers. We complain about companies having too much data, but developing countries without widespread Internet usage may suffer from the reverse: not enough data collection for the development of advanced services—which leads to a worsening data divide between developed and developing countries.
"What's the future of free? Data is the price of free service, and the new currency of the Internet age. There's nothing necessarily wrong with free, Kende says, as long as we anticipate and try to mitigate what's on the flip side."

--- Putting "lowers barriers to entry" in the same sentence as "hard to compete" is an impressive level of doublethink, even for promotional material...]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The advertising slogan of the social news site Reddit is "Come for the cats. Stay for the empathy." Journalists and their readers seem to need no explanation for the line, "The internet is made of cats." Everyone understands the joke, but few know how it started. A Unified Theory of Cats on the Internet is the first book to explore the history of how the cat became the internet's best friend.
"Internet cats can differ in dramatic ways, from the goth cats of Twitter to the glamourpusses of Instagram to the giddy, nonsensical silliness of Nyan Cat. But they all share common traits and values. Bringing together fun anecdotes, thoughtful analyses, and hidden histories of the communities that built the internet, Elyse White shows how japonisme, punk culture, cute culture, and the battle among different communities for the soul of the internet informed the sensibility of online felines. Internet cats offer a playful—and useful—way to understand how culture shapes and is shaped by technology.
"Western culture has used cats for centuries as symbols of darkness, pathos, and alienation, and the communities that helped build the internet explicitly constructed themselves as outsiders, with snark and alienation at the core of their identity. Thus cats became the sine qua non of cultural literacy for the Extremely Online, not to mention an everyday medium of expression for the rest of us. Whatever direction the internet takes next, the "series of tubes" is likely to remain cat-shaped."]]></description>

    <title>The Internet Trap: How the Digital Economy Builds Monopolies and Undermines Democracy on JSTOR</title>
    <dc:date>2020-08-11T15:27:01+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv36zrf8</link>
    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The internet was supposed to fragment audiences and make media monopolies impossible. Instead, behemoths like Google and Facebook now dominate the time we spend online—and grab all the profits from the attention economy. The Internet Trap explains how this happened. This provocative and timely book sheds light on the stunning rise of the digital giants and the online struggles of nearly everyone else—and reveals what small players can do to survive in a game that is rigged against them.
"Matthew Hindman shows how seemingly tiny advantages in attracting users can snowball over time. The internet has not reduced the cost of reaching audiences—it has merely shifted who pays and how. Challenging some of the most enduring myths of digital life, Hindman explains why the internet is not the postindustrial technology that has been sold to the public, how it has become mathematically impossible for grad students in a garage to beat Google, and why net neutrality alone is no guarantee of an open internet. He also explains why the challenges for local digital news outlets and other small players are worse than they appear and demonstrates what it really takes to grow a digital audience and stay alive in today’s online economy."]]></description>

How do we, as individuals and as a society, protect against dangerous expressions online? Confronting the Internet's Dark Side is the first book on social responsibility on the Internet. It aims to strike a balance between the free speech principle and the responsibilities of the individual, corporation, state, and the international community. This book brings a global perspective to the analysis of some of the most troubling uses of the Internet. It urges net users, ISPs, and liberal democracies to weigh freedom and security, finding the golden mean between unlimited license and moral responsibility. This judgment is necessary to uphold the very liberal democratic values that gave rise to the Internet and that are threatened by an unbridled use of technology."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Cybercrime seems invisible. Attacks arrive out of nowhere, their origins hidden by layers of sophisticated technology. Only the victims are clear. But every crime has its perpetrator—specific individuals or groups sitting somewhere behind keyboards and screens. Jonathan Lusthaus lifts the veil on the world of these cybercriminals in the most extensive account yet of the lives they lead, and the vast international industry they have created.
"We are long past the age of the lone adolescent hacker tapping away in his parents’ basement. Cybercrime now operates like a business. Its goods and services may be illicit, but it is highly organized, complex, driven by profit, and globally interconnected. Having traveled to cybercrime hotspots around the world to meet with hundreds of law enforcement agents, security gurus, hackers, and criminals, Lusthaus takes us inside this murky underworld and reveals how this business works. He explains the strategies criminals use to build a thriving industry in a low-trust environment characterized by a precarious combination of anonymity and teamwork. Crime takes hold where there is more technical talent than legitimate opportunity, and where authorities turn a blind eye—perhaps for a price. In the fight against cybercrime, understanding what drives people into this industry is as important as advanced security.
"Based on seven years of fieldwork from Eastern Europe to West Africa, Industry of Anonymity is a compelling and revealing study of a rational business model which, however much we might wish otherwise, has become a defining feature of the modern world."]]></description>

    <title>Roberts, M.E.: Censored: Distraction and Diversion Inside China`s Great Firewall (Hardcover and eBook) | Princeton University Press</title>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["As authoritarian governments around the world develop sophisticated technologies for controlling information, many observers have predicted that these controls would be ineffective because they are easily thwarted and evaded by savvy Internet users. In Censored, Margaret Roberts demonstrates that even censorship that is easy to circumvent can still be enormously effective. Taking advantage of digital data harvested from the Chinese Internet and leaks from China's Propaganda Department, this important book sheds light on how and when censorship influences the Chinese public.
"Roberts finds that much of censorship in China works not by making information impossible to access but by requiring those seeking information to spend extra time and money for access. By inconveniencing users, censorship diverts the attention of citizens and powerfully shapes the spread of information. When Internet users notice blatant censorship, they are willing to compensate for better access. But subtler censorship, such as burying search results or introducing distracting information on the web, is more effective because users are less aware of it. Roberts challenges the conventional wisdom that online censorship is undermined when it is incomplete and shows instead how censorship's porous nature is used strategically to divide the public.
"Drawing parallels between censorship in China and the way information is manipulated in the United States and other democracies, Roberts reveals how Internet users are susceptible to control even in the most open societies. Demonstrating how censorship travels across countries and technologies, Censored gives an unprecedented view of how governments encroach on the media consumption of citizens."]]></description>

    <link>https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/how-not-network-nation</link>
    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Between 1959 and 1989, Soviet scientists and officials made numerous attempts to network their nation—to construct a nationwide computer network. None of these attempts succeeded, and the enterprise had been abandoned by the time the Soviet Union fell apart. Meanwhile, ARPANET, the American precursor to the Internet, went online in 1969. Why did the Soviet network, with top-level scientists and patriotic incentives, fail while the American network succeeded? In How Not to Network a Nation, Benjamin Peters reverses the usual cold war dualities and argues that the American ARPANET took shape thanks to well-managed state subsidies and collaborative research environments and the Soviet network projects stumbled because of unregulated competition among self-interested institutions, bureaucrats, and others. The capitalists behaved like socialists while the socialists behaved like capitalists.
"After examining the midcentury rise of cybernetics, the science of self-governing systems, and the emergence in the Soviet Union of economic cybernetics, Peters complicates this uneasy role reversal while chronicling the various Soviet attempts to build a “unified information network.” Drawing on previously unknown archival and historical materials, he focuses on the final, and most ambitious of these projects, the All-State Automated System of Management (OGAS), and its principal promoter, Viktor M. Glushkov. Peters describes the rise and fall of OGAS—its theoretical and practical reach, its vision of a national economy managed by network, the bureaucratic obstacles it encountered, and the institutional stalemate that killed it. Finally, he considers the implications of the Soviet experience for today’s networked world."]]></description>

    <link>https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/stack</link>
    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? In The Stack, Benjamin Bratton proposes that smart grids, cloud computing, mobile software and smart cities, universal addressing systems, ubiquitous computing, and other types of apparently unrelated planetary-scale computation can be viewed as forming a coherent whole—an accidental megastructure called The Stack that is both a computational apparatus and a new geopolitical architecture. 
"This model, informed by the logic of the multilayered structure of software protocol “stacks,” in which network technologies operate within a modular and vertical order, offers a platform for the design of complex systems—including current and future political geographies that may supersede that of the increasingly “de-bordered” nation-state. In an account that is both theoretical and technical, drawing on political philosophy, architectural theory, and software studies, Bratton offers a design brief for a geopolitics with and for planetary-scale computation.
"Bratton examines six interdependent layers of The Stack: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User. Each is considered on its own terms and as a layer within a larger architecture. The Stack is made from hard and soft systems intermingling—not only computational forms but also social, human, and concrete forces. The Stack offers a way to view the entire digital world, at once, enabling us to engage its challenges directly."

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["How did openness become a foundational value for the networks of the twenty-first century? Open Standards and the Digital Age answers this question through an interdisciplinary history of information networks that pays close attention to the politics of standardization. For much of the twentieth century, information networks such as the monopoly Bell System and the American military’s Arpanet were closed systems subject to centralized control. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, engineers in the United States and Europe experimented with design strategies to create new digital networks. In the process, they embraced discourses of “openness” to describe their ideological commitments to entrepreneurship, technological innovation, and participatory democracy. The rhetoric of openness has flourished - for example, in movements for open government, open source software, and open access publishing - but such rhetoric also obscures the ways the Internet and other “open” systems still depend heavily on hierarchical forms of control."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The vast majority of all email sent every day is spam, a variety of idiosyncratically spelled requests to provide account information, invitations to spend money on dubious products, and pleas to send cash overseas. Most of it is caught by filters before ever reaching an in-box. Where does it come from? As Finn Brunton explains in Spam, it is produced and shaped by many different populations around the world: programmers, con artists, bots and their botmasters, pharmaceutical merchants, marketers, identity thieves, crooked bankers and their victims, cops, lawyers, network security professionals, vigilantes, and hackers. Every time we go online, we participate in the system of spam, with choices, refusals, and purchases the consequences of which we may not understand.
"This is a book about what spam is, how it works, and what it means. Brunton provides a cultural history that stretches from pranks on early computer networks to the construction of a global criminal infrastructure. The history of spam, Brunton shows us, is a shadow history of the Internet itself, with spam emerging as the mirror image of the online communities it targets. Brunton traces spam through three epochs: the 1970s to 1995, and the early, noncommercial computer networks that became the Internet; 1995 to 2003, with the dot-com boom, the rise of spam’s entrepreneurs, and the first efforts at regulating spam; and 2003 to the present, with the war of algorithms—spam versus anti-spam. Spam shows us how technologies, from email to search engines, are transformed by unintended consequences and adaptations, and how online communities develop and invent governance for themselves."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I'm doing a short talk at SXSW tomorrow, as part of a panel on Creating the Internet of Entities. Preparing is tough because don't I believe it's possible, and even if it was I wouldn't like it. Opposing better semantic tagging feels like hating on Girl Scout cookies, but I've realized that I like an internet full of messy, redundant, ambiguous data.
"The stated goal of an Internet of Entities is a web where "real-world people, places, and things can be referenced unambiguously". We already have that. Most pages give enough context and attributes for a person to figure out which real world entity it's talking about. What the definition is trying to get at is a reference that a machine can understand.
"The implicit goal of this and similar initiatives like Stephen Wolfram's .data proposal is to make a web that's more computable. Right now, the pages that make up the web are a soup of human-readable text, a long way from the structured numbers and canonical identifiers that programs need to calculate with. I often feel frustrated as I try to divine answers from chaotic, unstructured text, but I've also learned to appreciate the advantages of the current state of things."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Przeworski and Teune ... called for comparativists to ‘replace country names with variables.’ In other words, they wanted political scientists to stop maundering on about the differences arising from the ineffable national characters of Germany, France and Italy, and instead to formulate hypotheses about the relationship between variables that might be seen or not seen in different national cases (e.g.... a trivial and obvious example, to test the hypothesis that states with powerful left parties are more likely to have extensive welfare states). I’d like to see people who study the ‘Internet’ and ‘social media’ stop studying them, and instead start focusing on the role of causal mechanisms that might (or might not) be associated with specific technologies in explaining political outcomes, i.e. to start replacing technology names with mechanisms. This would, of course, require Real Research. But it seems to me more promising than the likely alternatives."

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I like his vision; I just don't see anything here remotely like a consideration of how it could be implemented.  Tech reviews can be done on a hobbyist basis because the skills required are supported by other industries, and the extra time invested is not super large.  (Basically, day-jobs pay people to keep up with compilers, or whatever, and so they can afford the small extra time to write up their understanding.)  Similarly for political _commentary_ (he punts completely on political _reporting_, other than the "clinging to guns and religion" line).  Serious reporting, on the other hand, is extremely time-consuming, not so much in writing or in acquiring technical knowledge (though there ought to be more of the latter for many beats) as in acquiring historical knowledge about the beat (and remaining current), cultivating contacts, and developing and running down leads on stories.  --- This is not to say that newspapers currently do a great job.

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Society doesn’t need newspapers. What we need is journalism. For a century, the imperatives to strengthen journalism and to strengthen newspapers have been so tightly wound as to be indistinguishable. That’s been a fine accident to have, but when that accident stops, as it is stopping before our eyes, we’re going to need lots of other ways to strengthen journalism instead."
