The presentations and discussions across this short but intense lineup of panels was the background to an imperative question—where do we go from here? Acknowledging the real value and the scope of existing projects and visions—together with their limitations—is a much needed discursive step to build something that is not satisfied with the marginality that the power of Big Tech condemns it to. Here, we will put together incisive insights from these two days, and open up a strategic discussion about really dismantling the corporatization of the Internet towards forging a global cooperative digital ecosystem.
