During the first two-decades of the Internet’s growth, too much faith was put in the technology itself. Not enough was done to address challenges such as the spread of surveillance technologies, abuse of online platforms & the general undermining of trust. …[governments] should work to establish better baselines & metrics to assess the Internet’s true impact, as well as the kinds of actions that enable the good & mitigate the bad. Advocates for the open Internet should acknowledge that regulation can help, while remaining vigilant to unintended consequences. …all of these stakeholders should continue to forge coalitions that work across borders in support of flexible, focused & rights-compliant efforts to improve freedom online.
