Resisting Enshittification: From Monopolies and Mediocrity to Reviving Democracy

Cory Doctorow and Zephyr Teachout in Conversation

The monopolistic dominance of the technosphere and media ecosystem by a handful of immense corporations has led to extraordinary erosions of privacy, dignity and sanity, and may threaten the very survival of those democratic institutions we still have. In light of these realities, what can we do to resist what Cory Doctorow has brilliantly tagged as the “Enshittification” of online reality and its nefarious impacts on the larger cultural and socio-political context? In this conversation, Cory, one of the world’s leading, long-time warriors for a truly functional internet that genuinely serves our needs, joins Zephyr Teachout, attorney, law professor, author, political leader, pioneering anti-monopoly and internet activist, and one of the nation’s leading experts on democracy and antitrust law, as they delve deeply into the best strategies we can employ to reclaim what should be our information and communication commons.
