A New Internet

Governance Minimization by building protocols, not platforms.

Facebooks owns 80% mobile social traffic. Google owns 92% of search and Amazon Web Services is bigger than their next four competitors. No one can survive from these monopolies.

They track our every move, they monitor every moment in our lives, and-and they exploit our data for profit. And you can ask them all the questions you want, but they're not gonna change, they don't have to.

These companies are kings, and they rule over kingdoms far larger than any nation in human history. They won, we lost.

So, why am I here? Because look at where we are. Yeah? - We are in the nation of the Freedom, Taiwan, a government that was founded by people who were, at one point, ruled by kings they couldn't overthrow.

So, what did they do, right? They started over. They came here, to the New World. World 2.0, version 1949.

And the way we win is by creating a new, democratic, decentralized Internet, one where the behavior of companies like this will be impossible, forever. One where it is the users, not the kings, who have sovereign control over their data.

This, I promise to you: I will help you end this tyranny by building an Internet that is of the people, by the people, and for the people, so help me God.
