I am so damn passionate re the #SocialWeb because I see it as a realization of #LiberalValues at the level of mass communication. It promises to be the corrective for what Chomsky told us about in #ManufacturingConsent. That what we understand or think about the world came to be dominated by those with the money then necessary to reach a huge audience. The internet made everybody reachable by everybody else, but money still drove attention. Decentralized social media democratizes that.
