Summary
The Platform Cooperativism movement calls for an Internet of Ownership.
It is a vision for online platforms that share democratic ownership and
governance with their stakeholders, especially those who contribute
their labor and personal data.
* What is the role of the millions of people who contribute to social
networks in governing their behavior?
* What role can free software play in Platform Cooperativism?
* What other movements does it intersect with?
Join us as Benjamin Melançon, leads us into a exploration of these
questions and the future of technology and cooperation, or as William
Gibson said:
"The future is already here— it's just not very evenly distributed."
