Bown / @chadbown : Cyber-utopians once dreamed of liberation spreading from an Ethernet cable. Now Washington must ensure that its companies don't spread exploitation and insecurity instead.

Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : Idea of an open & global internet is no longer in favor even among democratic countries like USA & India.

Justin Sherman / @jshermcyber : NEW: @gwbstr and I in @ForeignAffairs — why democracies shouldn't abandon the ideal of a global internet, as some are doing right now https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ ... @foreignaffairs : Efforts to piece together an international, democratic, rights-respecting coalition on technology governance will fail if they do not acknowledge that such a project is inherently a global one, argue @gwbstr and @jshermcyber. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ ...
