"In 2015, #Graber met with #Barlow, and boldly asked him if he had been naive, with his declaration. If he had not seen if the internet could be used to surveil and control. Barlow's answer is that he knew this was a possibility, but that his job was to inspire, to get people to believe in the positive vision that the internet could be. This is the same position that Graber takes for herself in this speech, inspiring other developers to build a better future, a world without Caesars.

But the argument that Graber brings to the table left me unsatisfied. The positive vision of the mid 1990s did not come to pass, even though the belief that the internet would change everything for the better was widespread. So what makes this time different?"
