The PeoplesWeb

Imagine the entire functions of the digital realm—Facebook, X, Uber, Airbnb, Deliveroo, Amazon Marketplace, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.—available in the UK (or the EU) without anything crossing the Atlantic—no personal data going westward, no control directives coming eastward.

So who will get our data? Nobody, except friends of our choosing. And who will control us? We will, through egalitarian, democratic, cooperative governance regimes, congruent with our existing social, economic, and political structures.
