"End to End," is my new column for @LocusMag, proposing a policy for a better internet: the "#EndToEnd" principle (#E2E), a bedrock of the original design for the internet, updated for the modern, monopolized web, as a way of #disenshittifying it:

The original E2E marked the turning point from telco-based systems where power was gathered at the center, controlled by carriers, to the packet-switched internet, where power moved to the edges. Under the old model, only the network operator could add new features. 3/
#ContentModeration is fundamentally about making social media work better, but there are two other considerations that determine how social media *fails*: #EndToEnd (#E2E), and #FreedomOfExit. 1/
These are much neglected, and that's a pity, because how a system fails is every bit as important as how it works. 2/

The online debate over #FreeSpeech *suuuuucks*, and, amazingly, it's *getting worse*. This week, it's the false dichotomy of #FreedomOfSpeech v #FreedomOfReach - whether a platform should override your explicit choices about what you want to see:

It's wild that we're still having this fight. It is literally the first internet fight! The modern internet was born out of an epic struggled between #Bellheads and #Netheads. 3/
A quick thread on end-to-end encryption and where @NSPCC thinks we should go next.
TL: DR: never ending debates based on a binary trade-off between privacy and safety get us nowhere, let’s think about risk profiles, and recognise children have a voice in this debate

Firstly, let’s recognise private messaging is at the forefront of child sexual abuse. Three-quarters of U.K. children contacted by people online they don’t know are initially contacted by private message. Grooming, sharing child abuse images and self-generated images are all ⬆️
Too often, this gets drilled down into a fixed binary between adult privacy and child safety. The arguments are shrill. That’s flawed. We should be having a public debate about how we balance privacy and safety, and ask companies to invest in solutions that meet this balance
