The January 6 mob attack on the US Capitol was incited and planned over Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other digital media platforms. The beautiful dream of an open and free internet, serving as a global agora of unlimited free speech to provide more democratic participation, crashed and burned one more time. How did we arrive here? And what do we do now? What regulations should the Biden administration pursue? Author Steven Hill will offer new thinking about how we can reclaim the Internet’s promise.
