"The open web is something extraordinary: anybody can use whatever tools they have, to create content following publicly documented specifications, published using completely free and open platforms, and then share that work with anyone, anywhere in the world, without asking for permission from anyone."
"The hectobillionaires have begun their final assault on the last, best parts of what's still open, and likely won't rest until they've either brought all of the independent and noncommercial parts of the Internet under their control, or destroyed them."
"Even though there have always been threats to openness on the web, the stakes have never been higher than they are this time."
The open web allows anyone to create and share content freely, but it faces unprecedented threats from powerful tech tycoons. These billionaires are attempting to control or destroy independent parts of the Internet. Despite the ongoing generosity of those who maintain web infrastructure, the stakes for preserving openness have never been higher. The future of the open web will depend on community decisions in the coming months, as current strategies to protect it have proven ineffective against these new challenges.
