Mark Zuckerberg as the Greatest Self-Help Guru of All Time?

Hi Paul, very good points. I previously started 2 threads on these 2 topics…

The first question seems to we whether access to social media is a basic human right. I suspect that soon it will become regarded as so.

See: Should we officially amend the human rights charter to account for tech?

The right of access to social network is a difficult issue, though. Such as how would you account for trolls when they have that right? Interesting article to demonstrate the problem here: Reddit and the Struggle to Detoxify the Internet

If this is correct then the next question is whether you can run such institutions in a decentralized way and whether you can get around the problem of control in that way.

See: Towards the Vision of The Decentralized Web

Okay, this is not about the institutions being decentralized, but the tech itself, giving control of personal data back to the individuals, among others.
