Cory Doctorow: A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (39c3 talk)
Summary
Cory Doctorow’s talk at 39c3 argues that the internet is being reshaped by policy and platform practices that enable monopolies and suppress interoperability, coining the term 'enshittification.' It frames adversarial interoperability bans as a tool that entrenches gatekeepers and calls for openness, portable computing, and user control over devices and software as antidotes. The talk situates these ideas within broader digital-rights and tech-policy discourse.
