GV Face: Happy 25th Birthday, Web!

  • 0:01 - 0:05
    our weekly video hangout series.
  • 0:05 - 0:09
    I think... let's see, we started a little bit off
    time so I'll say it again.
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    Welcome to GV Face, our weekly video hangout series.
  • 0:10 - 0:16
    Today we are celebrating the 25th birthday
  • 0:16 - 0:20
    of the World Wide Web. Pretty exciting.
    That was on Wednesday.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    We've got a really all-star lineup of guests
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    on today's program.
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    Moving from left to right we have
  • 0:30 - 0:35
    Alan Emtage, a very special guest who is
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    gonna talk to us about his
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    very special creation of
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    the first web browser.
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    We have Jeremy Clark in Montreal. Jeremy is a technical director at Global Voices.
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    Josh Levy from Free Press
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    in Massachusetts in the U.S., and Renata Avila,
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    campaign manager for The Web We Want
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    Creative Commons extraordinaire, and
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    [?] Starr who is joining us from Berlin. Welcome, everybody!
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    So we wanna just start today's
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    show by talking a little bit about
  • 1:14 - 1:21
    the World Wide Web and the Internet, 'cause a lot of people think that they're the same thing
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    when actually that's not quite true
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    wanna first turn to Jeremy I'm
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    and just ask chair could you break it
    down for us
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    like I thought that the internet was
    invented in the seventies but
  • 1:37 - 1:41
    if it's the 25th birthday have the
    weapons
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    what does that mean okay
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    well the best place to start I think is
  • 1:48 - 1:53
    the internet who has existed in various
    formats
  • 1:53 - 1:58
    since the 1970s as he say up but it was
    the web that made it really enter our
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    homes
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    and so understanding the relationship is
    important
  • 2:02 - 2:07
    so the internet was invented by the US
    government in a lot of sense is
  • 2:07 - 2:12
    a mix of military in science funding I
    that developed the network at the actual
  • 2:12 - 2:13
    computers
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    that can communicate with each other
    over wires
  • 2:16 - 2:21
    arm now another related technology that
    is
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    also comprise that built into the bad
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    is called hypertext and that is the
    notion
  • 2:27 - 2:32
    out documents that can link between each
    other immediately
  • 2:32 - 2:36
    without having I to go and fetch a
    separate document
  • 2:36 - 2:40
    arm so there were lots of system since
    the nineteen sixties
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    that we're trying to implement hypertext
    like that to do with an example
  • 2:43 - 2:47
    up but all of them where commercial
    expensive closed
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    and none of them were very popular so
    Tim berners-lee
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    who is the inventor of the Internet I I
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    though web obviously the World Wide Web
    arm
  • 2:58 - 3:02
    put those two things together by
    building a service that runs
  • 3:02 - 3:06
    on top of the Internet and he called it
    the World Wide Web
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    soul what the World Wide Web is is
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    be decentralized hypertext I
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    engine that we used I to communicate
    between
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    computers our web pages so
  • 3:19 - 3:23
    what makes up web is three things
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    URL's or you our eyes universal Resource
    Locator
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    which are the addresses we use to find
    things on the web
  • 3:30 - 3:35
    Bob HTML which is the Hypertext Markup
    Language
  • 3:35 - 3:39
    I which is the way that be information
    is stored and sent
  • 3:39 - 3:42
    so that we can then used browsers to
  • 3:42 - 3:46
    view HTML and then all the documents
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    can be understood and then also
  • 3:49 - 3:52
    they display the links so that the
    Hypertext part if it works and we can
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    jump around from page to page
  • 3:54 - 3:59
    I'm the final part is HTTP which is the
    Hypertext Transfer Protocol
  • 3:59 - 4:04
    which is the communication method by
    which the different computers
  • 4:04 - 4:07
    can talk to each other and send be
  • 4:07 - 4:11
    I HTML documents back and forth
    depending on the URL's
  • 4:11 - 4:17
    arm so when he built it there were some
    very important things that he built into
  • 4:17 - 4:17
    this system
  • 4:17 - 4:21
    that didn't exist before and the main
    one is
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    universal of worship so he always
    intended
  • 4:24 - 4:29
    that anyone would be able to access
    these web pages
  • 4:29 - 4:32
    and anyone would be able to add their
    own web pages without asking for
  • 4:32 - 4:33
    permission
  • 4:33 - 4:38
    I with the X very explicit special
    condition that anyone can link to any
  • 4:38 - 4:39
    other web page
  • 4:39 - 4:43
    without permission previous hypertext
    systems
  • 4:43 - 4:48
    required that basically for you to link
    to me I have to accept that link can
  • 4:48 - 4:50
    probably create a link back to you
  • 4:50 - 4:53
    and that was the required on the web
    which gives us a lot of freedom to make
  • 4:53 - 4:56
    the people we who wit wouldn't want us
  • 4:56 - 4:59
    to be able to link them for example so
    no one can say I'm putting up tree
  • 4:59 - 5:01
    content but you
  • 5:01 - 5:04
    can't send your readers here because I
    hate you et cetera
  • 5:04 - 5:08
    are the other one is that you made it
    completely completely 3
  • 5:08 - 5:12
    so in the world a mentor in world them
    programming
  • 5:12 - 5:15
    the most free thing is generally
    considered to be the GPL
  • 5:15 - 5:20
    open source free software licenses and
    Tim berners-lee actually almost use the
  • 5:20 - 5:24
    GPL because he wanted that what web
    software he was building to be free
  • 5:24 - 5:28
    but at the last minute yes he changed
    his mind made it call public domain
  • 5:28 - 5:32
    because in certain ways the GPL is
    actually more respect
  • 5:32 - 5:35
    restrictive because it forces other
    people like certain commercial actors
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    wouldn't have wanted to use
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    web technology if it were GPL so he made
    a full public domain
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    and then from there when I'm to make all
    of the standard size
  • 5:45 - 5:49
    open and I general and three as possible
  • 5:49 - 5:53
    are so that's my extremely brief history
    internet if anyone is curious
  • 5:53 - 5:57
    he wrote a wonderful book called weaving
    the web about his experiences
  • 5:57 - 6:00
    as you can see its short and he
  • 6:00 - 6:04
    highlighted interesting technical
    information in it without
  • 6:04 - 6:08
    I'll it being overwhelming it's very
    approachable and he's a really
  • 6:08 - 6:10
    interesting person ended the book is
    much better than his tweets which are
  • 6:10 - 6:11
    usually
  • 6:11 - 6:15
    in procuring all
  • 6:15 - 6:19
    crowded thank coach that's great chair
  • 6:19 - 6:23
    I mean I think that that helps on in
    conversations about
  • 6:23 - 6:27
    internet policy in Internet governance
    there's a lot of emphasis
  • 6:27 - 6:30
    on the ability to kinda creepy
  • 6:30 - 6:34
    innovate without permission like for
    everybody to
  • 6:34 - 6:37
    be able to build parks a the web and
  • 6:37 - 6:42
    and what you just laid out for us makes
    it clear how important
  • 6:42 - 6:46
    a web peace up the infrastructure is for
    that
  • 6:46 - 6:51
    for that capacity to become a real
    tangible thing and somebody that
  • 6:51 - 6:54
    something that now we can do you know we
    don't have to have
  • 6:54 - 6:58
    technical expertise to kindness build
    our own
  • 6:58 - 7:02
    our own spaces there I'm so I'm
  • 7:02 - 7:06
    if I can add just one more thing sorry I
    as want to give a couple examples the
  • 7:06 - 7:09
    things that happen over the internet
    that arent to bad
  • 7:09 - 7:12
    because that was the actual I miss a
    question so
  • 7:12 - 7:16
    one example would be torrents where York
    the cookie to computers connect to each
  • 7:16 - 7:17
    other
  • 7:17 - 7:20
    and stream information directly without
    any URL's
  • 7:20 - 7:24
    being mixed into the process I'm another
    one is email at its core
  • 7:24 - 7:28
    is its own communication protocol that
    doesn't have to use the web although we
  • 7:28 - 7:29
    often use
  • 7:29 - 7:32
    web sites to access and manage our now
  • 7:32 - 7:36
    arm and then another one was the one
    right before the web came out
  • 7:36 - 7:39
    them a very popular protocol was called
    go for which
  • 7:39 - 7:43
    people liked and sort it worked like the
    where'd you just surf around and find
  • 7:43 - 7:43
    things
  • 7:43 - 7:47
    but it actually became commercial right
    around the time
  • 7:47 - 7:51
    that the web came out so people have
    would have had to start paying and
  • 7:51 - 7:52
    instead of having to pay
  • 7:52 - 7:57
    they switched to using HTTP a shemale
    and the world but
  • 7:57 - 8:00
    thank you so I want to move to Alan now
  • 8:00 - 8:04
    I'm how I couldn't bill the first
  • 8:04 - 8:06
    search engine
  • 8:06 - 8:09
    and I'm kinda like
  • 8:09 - 8:13
    overwhelmed and feel sort of like giddy
    and nervous
  • 8:13 - 8:17
    having apparently speaker her big deal
  • 8:17 - 8:20
    I'm salome just I
  • 8:20 - 8:25
    you could tell us cuz I think a lot of
    people don't know about archie
  • 8:25 - 8:28
    on it would be really cool just to hear
    about
  • 8:28 - 8:34
    E all you sir what you were doing that
    made you decide
  • 8:34 - 8:38
    should to do this and kinda what it was
    like and then
  • 8:38 - 8:41
    mean everything you've seen sense
    unfortunately
  • 8:41 - 8:45
    where time limited but welcome you know
    therapy
  • 8:45 - 8:49
    well arm I well that was lacking that
  • 8:49 - 8:53
    19 I 89 and
  • 8:53 - 8:59
    a I was working out as a system and
    mentorship therefore I am getting worse
  • 8:59 - 9:00
    there's no cracks chips
  • 9:00 - 9:04
    McGill University and I'm I A
  • 9:04 - 9:08
    was responsible for getting all software
    for one on my responsibilities
  • 9:08 - 9:12
    getting software for the faculty and the
    students
  • 9:12 - 9:17
    are and at that time there it three
    major protocols on the internet this is
  • 9:17 - 9:18
    pretty where
  • 9:18 - 9:21
    I'll was I world's
  • 9:21 - 9:25
    telnet which would allow you to log into
    a remote machine
  • 9:25 - 9:29
    email I which allow you to communicate
  • 9:29 - 9:32
    I with one what we do know 10
  • 9:32 - 9:36
    me more machines your and
  • 9:36 - 9:39
    FTP which was the File Transfer Protocol
    which allowed you to move
  • 9:39 - 9:43
    Wow data files or file was from one
    which
  • 9:43 - 9:46
    one sheet to another and at the time
    what we had was
  • 9:46 - 9:50
    people had me it remember it was a non
    commercial Internet
  • 9:50 - 9:54
    time actually commercial traffic was
    forbidden on the Internet
  • 9:54 - 9:57
    time because it was run by the National
    Science Foundation
  • 9:57 - 10:00
    was using educational money and
    therefore
  • 10:00 - 10:05
    other than companies with research arms
    like ID and I'll
  • 10:05 - 10:08
    and HD and those kinds of things we
    didn't have any commercial traffic on
  • 10:08 - 10:10
    the Internet which
  • 10:10 - 10:13
    why would a seems kinda amazing to even
    think about
  • 10:13 - 10:17
    and I so what people who did
  • 10:17 - 10:21
    were out to provide are three states on
    your machine
  • 10:21 - 10:24
    remember you know at the time a big a
    big
  • 10:24 - 10:29
    this will be a megabyte you know I'll
    and so people would provide
  • 10:29 - 10:32
    common a or depositary still
  • 10:32 - 10:36
    that that you could deposit I'm
  • 10:36 - 10:40
    programs that you had written and I'll
    data files
  • 10:40 - 10:44
    and documents back in stock into the
    central repositories
  • 10:44 - 10:47
    that will spread around the internet
    that other people can then
  • 10:47 - 10:52
    you cheaper and so I spend a lot of my
    time trying to locate software
  • 10:52 - 10:56
    or the information that means that
    students in the Faculty are trying to
  • 10:56 - 10:56
    find
  • 10:56 - 10:59
    and I got tired and since I'm easy and
    the geek
  • 10:59 - 11:03
    I A arm I A I
  • 11:03 - 11:07
    automated the process a got instead of
    doing it manually
  • 11:07 - 11:10
    I had a bunch in scripts wake up in the
    middle of the night every night
  • 11:10 - 11:14
    and go all index these files
  • 11:14 - 11:18
    now remember all of this was just file
    listings it's not like we will it's not
  • 11:18 - 11:19
    like a
  • 11:19 - 11:22
    I'll search engine will be today I if
    yes
  • 11:22 - 11:26
    just I just found it's all it was bonds
  • 11:26 - 11:29
    and so what they would do with it would
    go out every night
  • 11:29 - 11:33
    yes all the file names and all the
    repositories allow you to search
  • 11:33 - 11:37
    those lists a plummets I only used it
    for myself
  • 11:37 - 11:40
    I only used it I'm for my own
  • 11:40 - 11:45
    for my own personal use on at one point
    my eyeballs was also
  • 11:45 - 11:48
    all students at your grad student at
    University I'll
  • 11:48 - 11:51
    let peter deutsch lettin you know that
  • 11:51 - 11:55
    I'm somebody was asking for you know to
    date could
  • 11:55 - 11:58
    somebody tell them where arm
  • 11:58 - 12:02
    emails pretty creepy software was and
  • 12:02 - 12:07
    I we from we see
  • 12:07 - 12:10
    you know he came in ASCII you at this
    database iniki mostly
  • 12:10 - 12:14
    if I I could help out tonight gave it to
    him in it you know
  • 12:14 - 12:18
    Pakistan pack a minute later I had the
    information and so he put this
  • 12:18 - 12:21
    yeah posting online and I'll
  • 12:21 - 12:24
    people then started asking well you know
  • 12:24 - 12:28
    can you find this from Ian in all these
    manual request
  • 12:28 - 12:32
    basically either through email or Usenet
    postings which is what we're using
  • 12:32 - 12:36
    time and he thought was a silly that's
    not quite doing these things manually
  • 12:36 - 12:38
    one week just allow people access
  • 12:38 - 12:43
    to the database itself and in a moment
    of insanity
  • 12:43 - 12:47
    I we have to come up with a name for it
    and I said okay well let's just call it
  • 12:47 - 12:52
    archie which is our client without be
    and dad are
  • 12:52 - 12:55
    and with a no vote so out both here for
    months
  • 12:55 - 13:00
    we were consuming what's happened all
    high quality traffic to Eastern Canada
  • 13:00 - 13:04
    on as this search engine became his
    people
  • 13:04 - 13:08
    you know work now I you you know people
    who know RGR
  • 13:08 - 13:13
    generally people up a certain age I
    won't mention what what ages but
  • 13:13 - 13:18
    and it's generally people who were in
    university or working
  • 13:18 - 13:22
    on the internet so it would have been
    researched people people in academia
  • 13:22 - 13:25
    I in the early 90s orgiastic for
  • 13:25 - 13:29
    about I am a.m.
  • 13:29 - 13:32
    five years for five years %uh and
  • 13:32 - 13:35
    only in next st PE archives it never
  • 13:35 - 13:39
    I'll index where now I went on
  • 13:39 - 13:44
    as or TJ popular and I got one ball in
    the standards policies not gonna stop I
  • 13:44 - 13:45
    worked
  • 13:45 - 13:48
    of very closely with Tim berners-lee to
    I am
  • 13:48 - 13:51
    to standardize for example I did the and
    Graham
  • 13:51 - 13:56
    media the standard-setting body to the
    Internet DCI 88
  • 13:56 - 13:59
    I to standardize URL's because
  • 13:59 - 14:03
    10 had come up with a set of above rules
    the world and the
  • 14:03 - 14:06
    as me looked at expanding that's larger
    range
  • 14:06 - 14:10
    out %uh resources we realize that what
    rules did not
  • 14:10 - 14:13
    on a ver all cases so we worked
  • 14:13 - 14:17
    for our 10 brought that specification
    his original specification to the
  • 14:17 - 14:21
    to group and we worked on it for I don't
    remember
  • 14:21 - 14:25
    might not see a year or so it come up
    with a standard for you or else so all
  • 14:25 - 14:27
    of those you're also use
  • 14:27 - 14:30
    day in and day out world were
    standardized as a result
  • 14:30 - 14:35
    all what many so it was I it was a
    really exciting time
  • 14:35 - 14:39
    it was at time out by you know the
    question I always get is why did
  • 14:39 - 14:43
    I make a billion dollars of a bit and I
    keep reminding people that
  • 14:43 - 14:46
    are mostly people who are pioneers with
    the accepted Mr
  • 14:46 - 14:49
    edmark and Jason arm or
  • 14:49 - 14:53
    didn't make a whole lot of money off
    with the squirrel
  • 14:53 - 14:57
    the switch in the plains we were working
    in an environment which
  • 14:57 - 15:00
    I'll put a premium on I'll
  • 15:00 - 15:04
    you're getting the technology out there
    making it is widely available as
  • 15:04 - 15:05
    possible
  • 15:05 - 15:09
    I tens big coup with Sharon which is the
  • 15:09 - 15:12
    organization that work for when we first
    develop where
  • 15:12 - 15:15
    was two guests earned to put I'll
  • 15:15 - 15:19
    the the HDD where software that he
    agreed
  • 15:19 - 15:22
    into the public to me all so it wasn't
    even choose to give away
  • 15:22 - 15:26
    it was surgeons property as it as an
    employee
  • 15:26 - 15:30
    he it was actually belong to Sir and
    down
  • 15:30 - 15:34
    I she he actually convince them to be
    able to
  • 15:34 - 15:38
    but in the public domain what's what
    really all
  • 15:38 - 15:41
    17 Center with a firearm with the whole
  • 15:41 - 15:44
    so I'll at the time the the
  • 15:44 - 15:48
    philosophy behind it it's really let's
    get this out there this is a brave new
  • 15:48 - 15:52
    world we don't know what's what all this
    technology can be used for
  • 15:52 - 15:56
    I don't think any of us including 10
    imagine what it would become
  • 15:56 - 16:00
    a you know he he always had a much
    grander vision a bit
  • 16:00 - 16:05
    but I don't I I can guarantee you I
    spent many many many many in our
  • 16:05 - 16:09
    and I with David sandbar is changing it
    then and I can't guarantee you that
  • 16:09 - 16:12
    he did not suit anymore certain
  • 16:12 - 16:15
    I'm I should dare and
  • 16:15 - 16:19
    you know he even he I don't think having
    idea that it would
  • 16:19 - 16:23
    a CD take over the world attack the
    world's population will be using this
  • 16:23 - 16:24
    system or
  • 16:24 - 16:29
    he created twenty years later to anybody
  • 16:29 - 16:32
    or thank you so much I mean so
  • 16:32 - 16:36
    speaking and threats yeah it has I'm
  • 16:36 - 16:39
    changed and I guess
  • 16:39 - 16:43
    taken over in a way I that me
  • 16:43 - 16:46
    that mean I'm sure wouldn't have
    expected a
  • 16:46 - 16:49
    I wanted to now move to Josh
  • 16:49 - 16:53
    and judge were not I'll cool are both
  • 16:53 - 16:56
    perini I'll who
  • 16:56 - 17:00
    very committed involves
  • 17:00 - 17:04
    leaders and what is now become
  • 17:04 - 17:08
    a global at for two
  • 17:08 - 17:12
    mean the way it was surprising in to
    save the Internet or preserve and
  • 17:12 - 17:13
    protect
  • 17:13 - 17:16
    to open this on and all up to
  • 17:16 - 17:20
    right to tree expression access
  • 17:20 - 17:23
    on and up also privacy that have
  • 17:23 - 17:27
    that me all would feel are embedded
    actually
  • 17:27 - 17:30
    in the way that it was bill so
  • 17:30 - 17:35
    Josh I wonder if you could explain to us
    really briefly what
  • 17:35 - 17:39
    your where your role is in your
    organization and then also
  • 17:39 - 17:44
    on tell us about the web we want
    campaign
  • 17:44 - 17:48
    and explain you know how you think this
  • 17:48 - 17:52
    rights movement is is shaping up and
  • 17:52 - 17:56
    and if you can kinda link it with
    everything that Allen just laid out for
  • 17:56 - 17:56
    us
  • 17:56 - 18:00
    out to be really wonderful although my
    best so
  • 18:00 - 18:04
    my name's Josh levy I'm from Free Press
    where
  • 18:04 - 18:09
    us-based organization we advocate for
  • 18:09 - 18:13
    better technology media policy that
    allows
  • 18:13 - 18:16
    or an open Internet or better
    representation
  • 18:16 - 18:19
    people in the media including in and an
    immediate
  • 18:19 - 18:22
    thats online and for open access
  • 18:22 - 18:26
    information and this Asian ever talk
    method
  • 18:26 - 18:30
    anniversary at the web has really
    central to our work because we've been
  • 18:30 - 18:31
    fighting
  • 18:31 - 18:34
    for example to you at past
  • 18:34 - 18:38
    strong mentality policies here in the US
    for years
  • 18:38 - 18:42
    at basically ever since the issue first
    came up with the mid 2000's
  • 18:42 - 18:45
    missile big internet service providers
    blocking
  • 18:45 - 18:48
    trafficking coming from their
    destinations and
  • 18:48 - 18:52
    that fight is ongoing the FCC to better
    communications commission here in the US
  • 18:52 - 18:53
    which
  • 18:53 - 18:57
    is charged with overseeing
    communications and technology policy
  • 18:57 - 19:02
    past rules in 2010 they were intended to
    protect me chali but we're passing our
  • 19:02 - 19:06
    in a way that we knew what was gonna
    hold up in court
  • 19:06 - 19:10
    anywhere as unfortunately we saw that
  • 19:10 - 19:14
    happened earlier this year when I court
    in Washington DC
  • 19:14 - 19:17
    throughout those roles effectively
    throwing out any net neutrality
  • 19:17 - 19:18
    protections that people have
  • 19:18 - 19:22
    and so this gets back kinda but Jeremy
    were saying
  • 19:22 - 19:25
    the internet versus the web right so
    when we're talking about net neutrality
  • 19:25 - 19:26
    which I have a lot of people
  • 19:26 - 19:29
    heard about this on Sat that you should
    be able to access
  • 19:29 - 19:33
    any information on why online without
    anybody getting in the way
  • 19:33 - 19:37
    out with it that's a big company or the
    government
  • 19:37 - 19:40
    an that is essentially
  • 19:40 - 19:45
    that's it a policy that applies to the
    Internet to the ways in which all are
  • 19:45 - 19:48
    computers connect with each other and we
    have this basic understanding
  • 19:48 - 19:53
    that the internet should be reno it
    meaning that my computer should be able
  • 19:53 - 19:57
    next yours into this well networked
    computers without any entity
  • 19:57 - 20:01
    inspecting the traffic trying to
    understand what you're trying to access
  • 20:01 - 20:05
    and based on that are in a blog so it
    doesn't like the video watching slowing
  • 20:05 - 20:06
    it down our
  • 20:06 - 20:11
    denied application using walking it that
    that should be totally unacceptable we
  • 20:11 - 20:12
    should be able to net
  • 20:12 - 20:16
    to whatever we want in whatever way we
    want and that includes using the web
  • 20:16 - 20:17
    rights to the web
  • 20:17 - 20:21
    is basically an application that ride
    over the Internet
  • 20:21 - 20:24
    the internet says global network the
    weather is just one application that
  • 20:24 - 20:25
    uses that
  • 20:25 - 20:29
    or network and so it is essential net
    challenged essential using where the
  • 20:29 - 20:33
    as as we've seen today using the web is
    so essential to all our lives
  • 20:33 - 20:37
    and big companies and governments have
    so much power over it
  • 20:37 - 20:41
    bad at the inn block alright things
    political speech
  • 20:41 - 20:44
    video that you want to watch features a
    cat there so
  • 20:44 - 20:47
    I'm anyway so that's what the press is
    doing in large part is trying to protect
  • 20:47 - 20:48
    that notion
  • 20:48 - 20:52
    net neutrality and wall added that fight
  • 20:52 - 20:55
    came a number campaign link their at me
  • 20:55 - 20:59
    stock so it was that bad copyright
    they'll your get your the US
  • 20:59 - 21:03
    and after that you know realization I
    think here the US around the world that
  • 21:03 - 21:04
    we are needed
  • 21:04 - 21:07
    I each other a little bit or those of us
    who have been
  • 21:07 - 21:12
    advocating for reopen it for a long time
    and so we started doing that
  • 21:12 - 21:15
    repressed led the development and
    wrapping up something called the
  • 21:15 - 21:16
    decoration etc reno
  • 21:16 - 21:20
    which was a simple statement of
    principles out they are right to access
  • 21:20 - 21:22
    information online
  • 21:22 - 21:26
    and Adam backing up really fruitful
    relationship with Tim berners-lee
  • 21:26 - 21:29
    organization the world wide web
    foundation
  • 21:29 - 21:33
    and we discussed ways in which we could
    move that effort
  • 21:33 - 21:36
    forward this you that declaration effort
  • 21:36 - 21:40
    to involve more troops around the world
    more people around the world
  • 21:40 - 21:44
    and shit guarantee that we all have
    access to information
  • 21:44 - 21:47
    and that that access and the principles
    behind it
  • 21:47 - 21:51
    are not a demanded any one country or
    anyone
  • 21:51 - 21:56
    it also added that in this great project
    the web we want which we're not going to
  • 21:56 - 21:58
    tell you more about
  • 21:58 - 22:01
    which is seeking to do just that to you
  • 22:01 - 22:05
    pass laws around the world that will
    protect people's right to access the
  • 22:05 - 22:05
    internet
  • 22:05 - 22:09
    into to access content on the web
    without anybody getting in the way
  • 22:09 - 22:14
    and its its building steam very very
    quickly
  • 22:14 - 22:17
    we are working with countries around the
    world developed their own set of
  • 22:17 - 22:20
    principles regarding the webinar rights
    on it
  • 22:20 - 22:24
    and organizing lot smarter organizations
    that it really excited
  • 22:24 - 22:29
    by getting involved in this effort and
    art remote uniting
  • 22:29 - 22:33
    gross we're all fighting the same by

    happened in its own resources especially
    in some punches in the levels out so

    I it you only if you want to write an

  • 29:49 - 29:52
    News shared knowledge with people and
    peace it engage in that
  • 29:52 - 29:56
    them yet but that the egos headed
  • 29:56 - 29:59
    here where author sauce and the Internet
    offers those
  • 29:59 - 30:03
    use them for two people communicate and
    panicking and borders and they've been
  • 30:03 - 30:03
    there
  • 30:03 - 30:07
    it's lonely here a.m. the list that
    phone
  • 30:07 - 30:11
    it which is not that a website but he
    said that
  • 30:11 - 30:15
    on and made of the connecti that he's
    ready to
  • 30:15 - 30:18
    jumper and and do
  • 30:18 - 30:22
    think actions to say that with any
    moment that using in the
  • 30:22 - 30:25
    let so yes
  • 30:25 - 30:29
    what's it you well
  • 30:29 - 30:32
    thanks that's really I think it's great
    to serve to have that out there for
  • 30:32 - 30:34
    people to understand
  • 30:34 - 30:37
    all the way so they can get involved
  • 30:37 - 30:41
    wanting right so in thinking about how
    can we make
  • 30:41 - 30:44
    a little show today that would celebrate
    the web
  • 30:44 - 30:47
    I couldn't help but think about Global
    Voices
  • 30:47 - 30:50
    because that's what brings us all
    together here
  • 30:50 - 30:55
    and I think that our community and so
    many ways
  • 30:55 - 30:59
    I mean we couldn't exist we wouldn't
    exist without the web
  • 30:59 - 31:04
    but doctor also so many on particular
  • 31:04 - 31:08
    attributes ovett in when it comes to
    access and openness that
  • 31:08 - 31:12
    allow us to do all the things that we do
    like including this
  • 31:12 - 31:16
    hang out right now I'm so I wanted to
    ask
  • 31:16 - 31:20
    although we're really short on time so
    I'm gonna have to asking to be super
  • 31:20 - 31:20
    presh
  • 31:20 - 31:24
    but chair you I kinda I said is there
    could you talk
  • 31:24 - 31:30
    a little bit about what with if you look
    at Global Voices
  • 31:30 - 31:33
    answered the way that it's grown-up on
  • 31:33 - 31:37
    with the Internet you've been here since
    the beginning so you can kinda wish
  • 31:37 - 31:41
    just tell us tell us a bit
  • 31:41 - 31:44
    okay well I I actually haven't been
  • 31:44 - 31:47
    where at Global Voices since the very
    beginning
  • 31:47 - 31:51
    but I joined near the start so maybe you
    can see on my screen
  • 31:51 - 31:54
    Global Voices we started actually in
    2005
  • 31:54 - 31:57
    I and one of the great things about the
    story
  • 31:57 - 31:59
    is that it was started
  • 31:59 - 32:03
    quickly in easily I by ethan Zuckerman
  • 32:03 - 32:06
    arm who set up the original site I
  • 32:06 - 32:10
    along with Rebecca MacKinnon who out
    worked on the idea content and so
  • 32:10 - 32:14
    they actually used word press which is
    this system we still use today
  • 32:14 - 32:18
    and which is very similar to the web in
    a lot of sense is
  • 32:18 - 32:23
    I because it's a distributed project
    people all around the world develop it
  • 32:23 - 32:26
    its open source and it's free and it is
    so
  • 32:26 - 32:30
    not by convenience but by very explicit
    philosophy and they're very active in
  • 32:30 - 32:31
    defending Mac
  • 32:31 - 32:35
    arm and also in another way I originally
  • 32:35 - 32:40
    I at the time there was a very popular
    free software called movable type
  • 32:40 - 32:44
    which became commercial and instead sign
    a paper at people
  • 32:44 - 32:48
    switch to Word Press I'm so this was our
    original website
  • 32:48 - 32:52
    we later redesigned it several times I
  • 32:52 - 32:56
    and over the years we have grown with
  • 32:56 - 33:01
    I Word Press to at take advantage of the
    new features
  • 33:01 - 33:07
    and I keep running our site and sell
    running are
  • 33:07 - 33:11
    our whole infrastructure on this very
    decentralized open source model has been
  • 33:11 - 33:15
    I really rewarding experience for us are
    just as
  • 33:15 - 33:18
    using the web has then obviously I there
    what are the most interesting
  • 33:18 - 33:22
    things is that Global Voices is all
    about the web without the web without
  • 33:22 - 33:23
    that
  • 33:23 - 33:27
    decentralized of the ship anyone can
    write to it there would be no Global
  • 33:27 - 33:27
    Voices
  • 33:27 - 33:31
    the whole point in little ways as well
    as to recognize that people all over the
  • 33:31 - 33:34
    world were taking advantage of the
    benefits of the web
  • 33:34 - 33:38
    and create one place where you can find
    it sort of like a archie wise
  • 33:38 - 33:42
    I with GE pre web telnet days
  • 33:42 - 33:45
    a archive things happening all around
  • 33:45 - 33:48
    I've got Google Voice is dead arm
  • 33:48 - 33:51
    so yeah no and
  • 33:51 - 33:55
    you know we've tried a lot of different
    infrastructure based around the web over
  • 33:55 - 33:56
    the years
  • 33:56 - 34:00
    I we you strip all reviews a lot of
    different online service that is
  • 34:00 - 34:02
    obviously like everyone else
  • 34:02 - 34:06
    the temptation to take advantage of
    Google's free offerings has always been
  • 34:06 - 34:10
    are part of Global Voices DNA we use
    Google mailing lists we use
  • 34:10 - 34:13
    I all the different things that they
    make for free
  • 34:13 - 34:17
    which is an interesting part of the web
    because it's not the web that Google
  • 34:17 - 34:21
    just happening to give it away but at
    the company they have a tendency to
  • 34:21 - 34:22
    follow the spirit of the web
  • 34:22 - 34:25
    I even though they're doing so for
    commercial reasons
  • 34:25 - 34:29
    up but yeah that Mike
  • 34:29 - 34:33
    it very brief summary of the history
    always given how to parallel the web
  • 34:33 - 34:38
    thank you I'm afraid we're gonna have to
    wrap up now but
  • 34:38 - 34:42
    just to do that I wanted to ask for
  • 34:42 - 34:45
    a couple love kinda final thoughts um
  • 34:45 - 34:50
    from from Allen and perhaps also Josh
    just
  • 34:50 - 34:53
    I'm Alan I guess I'm I'm especially
  • 34:53 - 34:57
    interested in if there are kinda
    thoughts that you have on all of the
  • 34:57 - 35:01
    activism and advocacy that's taking
    place around
  • 35:01 - 35:05
    fundamental rights on the internet kinda
    from from
  • 35:05 - 35:06
    your own
  • 35:06 - 35:09
    unique historical perspective and then
  • 35:09 - 35:14
    I wanted to close on by asking or not
    it's just tell
  • 35:14 - 35:17
    ass very little bit about Basle
  • 35:17 - 35:21

    and then we will
  • 35:25 - 35:29
    close-up won't end well arm
  • 35:29 - 35:33
    you know I'll I have I haven't been
    involved
  • 35:33 - 35:37
    awesome activists for a for a quite some
    time now
  • 35:37 - 35:40
    year a sort of bernard hogan-howe patrol
    biatch
  • 35:40 - 35:45
    I'll lying around the globe and and at
    the mall except maybe the nineties
  • 35:45 - 35:49
    I but I certainly is its to pay a lot of
    attention to that stuff
  • 35:49 - 35:52
    a I am currently in Barbados right now
  • 35:52 - 35:55
    and down it has been really interesting
    to
  • 35:55 - 35:59
    trying out for one example trying to
    access content
  • 35:59 - 36:04
    from United States om all your
    entertainment content action star
  • 36:04 - 36:07
    and II manual to study read but
  • 36:07 - 36:10
    a real it but in in practice the
  • 36:10 - 36:14
    antiquated models I'll %uh of content
    distribution
  • 36:14 - 36:18
    that we are still holding onto om in
    this day in age
  • 36:18 - 36:21
    where no geographical boundaries and
    national boundaries not
  • 36:21 - 36:26
    on Sat are still very much at once
    entropies business models
  • 36:26 - 36:29
    a get you know our are not things like
  • 36:29 - 36:32
    but our internet esta whiten way at it
    on
  • 36:32 - 36:35
    well I see no music industry a seamless
    happen now for
  • 36:35 - 36:39
    ethnic I'm I would certainly from the
    actors
  • 36:39 - 36:42
    on you in terms of keeping the the
    Internet I'm freaking
  • 36:42 - 36:46
    and unavailable its are it's going to be
    a real challenge I mean it's such a
  • 36:46 - 36:50
    important technology now and you have
    things like a great
  • 36:50 - 36:54
    wall are the Great Firewall of China
    Omni power
  • 36:54 - 36:57
    you know russia recently as a while
    yesterday today
  • 36:57 - 37:03
    shutting down I'll using got new laws to
    shut down access to
  • 37:03 - 37:06
    guess at I against hooting I'll
  • 37:06 - 37:09
    you know this getting reelected are I'm
  • 37:09 - 37:13
    egypt was a real wake-up call for a lot
    of people on the use of social
  • 37:13 - 37:14
    networking
  • 37:14 - 37:17
    I'll juju organize an activity on
  • 37:17 - 37:21
    people and bring them up onto the sheets
    so governments are scared this
  • 37:21 - 37:22
    technology
  • 37:22 - 37:25
    and it's important that we worked really
    hard to keep it is
  • 37:25 - 37:28
    this reason is because they realize that
    not for me chin
  • 37:28 - 37:32
    are you talking to mention you control
    the people so I'm
  • 37:32 - 37:35
    I think it is a strange journey partner
    people I
  • 37:35 - 37:39
    let's just do not want to continue to
    work are very hard to you
  • 37:39 - 37:43
    to stop the battle Austin form below the
    Legislature's
  • 37:43 - 37:47
    summer just another eight rats I mean
    you know never ascribe to malice what
  • 37:47 - 37:47
    will be
  • 37:47 - 37:52
    ascribed to incompetence and on these
    people are just incompetent not not
  • 37:52 - 37:53
    malicious
  • 37:53 - 37:57
    I'll but they are people who are
    malicious as well so we have to deal
  • 37:57 - 37:58
    with them as well
  • 37:58 - 38:01
    but top it's you know it's vitally
    important the yes
  • 38:01 - 38:04
    I nowadays not be these technologies
    reset
  • 38:04 - 38:11
    at the core or culture and the way we
    communicate on may
  • 38:13 - 38:18
    I me others at 10 quickly at
  • 38:18 - 38:21
    I think that we read in your interesting
    moment where
  • 38:21 - 38:25
    so many basic knowledge the
  • 38:25 - 38:29
    importance on the internet and no
    nowhere ands
  • 38:29 - 38:33
    be impact it's had a on every aspect of
    our
  • 38:33 - 38:36
    culture and and because of that I think
    we as the
  • 38:36 - 38:40
    users at the where into the internet
    have
  • 38:40 - 38:45
    a duty to hold the government
  • 38:45 - 38:49
    governments around the world in
    companies around the world accountable
  • 38:49 - 38:52
    and to you its
  • 38:52 - 38:57
    urge them and pressure them to protect
    the openness
  • 38:57 - 39:01
    that lies at the core I'll this entire
  • 39:01 - 39:04
    name and to protect not just openness
    but
  • 39:04 - 39:07
    also this notion 0 comments thats
  • 39:07 - 39:11
    I in our opinion quickly being lost
  • 39:11 - 39:15
    this notion that the that the internet
    and that the web are
  • 39:15 - 39:18
    I'll are publicly on and that
  • 39:18 - 39:22
    it the activity that takes place on them
    as activity that we
  • 39:22 - 39:26
    undertake net me it that is ours and
    that is not baby
  • 39:26 - 39:30
    mean up the big companies on his
    platforms
  • 39:30 - 39:33
    me undertake the activity so for example
  • 39:33 - 39:36
    google has allowed us to do a lot of
    things Google
  • 39:36 - 39:39
    lost by a lot of information extremely
    quickly
  • 39:39 - 39:43
    to connect to each other extremely well
    he is not working at
  • 39:43 - 39:46
    are doing right now but Google's doing
    all this and
  • 39:46 - 39:50
    at while mining the data to get
  • 39:50 - 39:54
    selling of that data that data is also
    creating this historic all
  • 39:54 - 39:58
    record up everything then search
    warrants a online which has been no
  • 39:58 - 40:02
    exploited by governments but also by
    companies as I think it's time for us to
  • 40:02 - 40:04
    think about that relationship between us
  • 40:04 - 40:09
    and these big companies which is
    becoming essential part of our
  • 40:09 - 40:15
    online experience and have to me the
    centralized that happen we
  • 40:15 - 40:18
    decouple ourselves from these giant
    companies and take back
  • 40:18 - 40:23
    or should I wear so that we are all in
    this experience in a deeper way and that
  • 40:23 - 40:27
    it's not and experience is purely
    commercial and a commercial transaction
  • 40:27 - 40:28
    between us and
  • 40:28 - 40:32
    and if a company so that that's a big
    question spent eight years for travel it
  • 40:32 - 40:39
    right solutions but we're hoping that we
    can start it our station now
  • 40:43 - 40:47
    well now now I'm not and now and we go
    back to something that
  • 40:47 - 40:53
    germs set and he left a but that he met
    means that you did in the
  • 40:53 - 40:56
    border Canadian border because the
    happier
  • 40:56 - 41:00
    and now with a while I want to talk
    about the set that up
  • 41:00 - 41:03
    at the end of the day yourself we've
    reduced
  • 41:03 - 41:07
    a number of people who can actually
  • 41:07 - 41:11
    eat some countries and not control the
    internet but you see
  • 41:11 - 41:15
    Eden you understand the infrastructure
    and use it in a way
  • 41:15 - 41:18
    that the weekend increase public who and
    they can
  • 41:18 - 41:22
    to help people in extreme situations and
    10 did
  • 41:22 - 41:26
    it these people he said my friend but he
    kept happy
  • 41:26 - 41:30

    we have been deeply baffled they the 15
    of March
  • 44:23 - 44:27
    what some things are already starting
    today and what we want is that joint
  • 44:27 - 44:28
    action
  • 44:28 - 44:31
    a Bleezy mean and
  • 44:31 - 44:35
    you can be it do remember bottle and not
    only battle

    but remember Syria because it seems that
    because if the new laws media's
  • 44:41 - 44:44
    it we don't we don't be a hear about
    Syria and more
  • 44:44 - 44:48
    I mean it's is like good in December
    been on the popular
  • 44:48 - 44:52
    and we we will if we got some timely
  • 44:52 - 44:56
    were OK and something is good but
    neither the symbol
  • 44:56 - 45:00
    have well but then a vote no on the
    suffering and together we to
  • 45:00 - 45:03
    wood bats and I'm not sober system
    administrators
  • 45:03 - 45:07
    computer experts and had a fierce
  • 45:07 - 45:11
    what I recent so that we only care about
    journalists in others lots of people
  • 45:11 - 45:12
    that somebody will people
  • 45:12 - 45:16
    for the future Syria and who would
    increase in our
  • 45:16 - 45:19
    what the we need our solidarity
  • 45:19 - 45:23
    I mean let's elect to even you're
    leaving a gun T

    you show your solidarity I know that
    share on your computer

    mind some appealing but maybe go won the
    nineteen a computer
  • 45:35 - 45:38
    with internet access this refugee camp
    so they can
  • 45:38 - 45:41
    stay in touch with their reluctance that
    growth may be
  • 45:41 - 45:45
    do enough to shark tall coach ashore
    gathering
  • 45:45 - 45:49
    your day I think that that there was no
    with ways who
  • 45:49 - 45:53
    help battle because that's what what but
    it probably will be between if you must
  • 45:53 - 45:54
    be

    the
  • 46:00 - 46:04
