summary
Argues for a concrete, architecture-first definition of user rights, showing how current web specs give servers the exclusive right to publish and right to identity, cites Facebook’s 2016 Russian ad campaign and YouTube’s David Hogg “crisis actor” results as failures of algorithmic trust, points to ProPublica’s discovery of 2,274 people in a “Jew-haters” ad demographic, and reports experiments with peer-to-peer tooling like Beaker browser and secure scuttlebutt as a plausible but still experimental path to shift rights to clients.
