Digital Vengeance Exploiting the Most Notorious C&C Toolki
Exploring how to make an internet that improves society through code, business, lawsuits, and legislation.
Summary
Complex Questions
Is Net Neutrality rising or falling? Is DRM rising or falling? Will crypto be banned, and if it wins, will its application be ransomware or revolution? Is history bending toward justice or snapping toward barbarism?
The Answer: It's Complicated
These are complex questions without simple answers. Understanding involves examining multiple forces shaping internet evolution.
Making Better Internet
A better world isn't a product; it's a process. The right question isn't whether the internet makes us better or worse, but how we make an internet that improves the world.
Multiple Levers
Improvement comes through code, but also conversations, businesses, lawsuits, and legislation. Moving in the right direction toward a better world means understanding all these levers and how to apply them effectively.
