*Internet Con* is a "#BigTech disassembly manual." It explains how Big Tech got so big (lax anti-#monopoly enforcement, which led to #RegulatoryCapture, which let Big Tech abuse our privacy, #labor rights, and #consumer rights), and how we can use #interoperability so it's no longer #TooBigToFail, nor #TooBigToJail:

#Interoperability of #WordPress, #RSS and the #Fediverse is what we are interested in for a while now, and sharing this tutorial might help others too.

No, unfortunately the #DMA does *not* force gatekeeper social networks to interoperate even if smaller ones want it.

Despite #DigitalRights groups like @edri fighting for this, there was much political & #lobbying resistance, and now Article 7 DMA on mandatory #interoperability only applies to messaging services, not social networks.

So, @element and @threemaapp could ask Whatsapp and #Facebook #Messenger to interoperate, but the #Fediverse won't be affected.

Hey look at this

I think people do care about #Fediverse #interoperability. Just not much about doing the boring chores of bringing everything and everyone together.

There's a lot of innovation funding provided by Horizon Europe via @EC_NGI and @EC_DIGIT that's been hugely valuable. But most of this money is focused on tech-oriented R&I 'funding the fragments', as it were.

Next to no support exists for volunteers glueing & knitting ecosystems / tech substrate together

#Control , #Consent, #Minimization , #Interoperability enforced by user-centric, exchange protocols. In the scope of these protocols, we have a role:
- holder - a party that owns data and gives content to share data with others via VP
- issuer - party that creates a data point via VC and shares it with a holder
- verifier - attest and check data
Roles are not the permanent user could change roles during the exchange session #ssi

#ssi #Transparency , #Portability, #Interoperability enforced by open standards and portable self-explaining and self contain data format and distributed data with meaning and context understandable for machines and humans. Together with data, we have interoperability of behavior that is achieved with #protocols that describe data, user roles, and expected behaviors.

#SSI principles 
#Existence — exist in real life
#Control —control their identities.
#Access —access to their own data
#Transparency — Systems and algorithms must be transparent.
#Persistence — must be long-lived.
#Portability — identity must be transportable
#Interoperability — Identities should be as widely usable as possible.
#Consent — Users must agree to the use of their identity.
#Minimization — Disclosure of claims must be minimized
#Protection — The rights of users must be protected

We can't (and shouldn't) bring back the old, good internet.

We can (and must!) make a NEW, good internet.

The internet didn’t enshittify because we got the wrong technology.

The internet enshittified because we got the wrong rules.
