[$] Cory Doctorow on how we lost the internet

Cory Doctorow wears many hats:
digital activist, science-fiction author, journalist, and more. He has
also written many books, both fiction and non-fiction, runs the Pluralistic blog, is a visiting
professor, and is an advisor to the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF); his Chokepoint Capitalism
co-author, Rebecca Giblin, gave a 2023 keynote
in Australia that we covered. Doctorow gave a rousing keynote on
the state of the 'enshitternet'—today's internet—to kick
off the recently held PyCon US
2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
