Abstract
Early techno-utopianism envisioned an Internet filled with opportunity, where the network would empower people to become better citizens. With a world of information at our fingertips we would be able to transform lives, become more informed, better connected, more engaged in democratic processes. The reality has been unkind to this dream, with fake news, trolls, online bullying and abuse rampant, our dream of a positive Internet has taken a few hits. This talk will try to put forward several ideas of how to recapture the dream of an empowering and positive Internet.
