- Decentralized Web: build a new, decentralized architecture for the internet from infrastructure, communications, media & money using the blockchain and peer-to-peer technologies.
- Messaging & Social Networking: can we build a new way to communicate online that favors privacy, people, and users’ interests? What needs to evolve?
- Misinformation & Content: ideas for services that help us get beyond polarization, filter bubbles and fake news.
- Surveillance Capitalism: whether it’s big tech or governments, everyone’s collecting your data. How do we put the user back in control of their data?
