- Summary:
- "The global, open internet is fragmenting. How To Save the Internet outlines the global cooperation needed to reform Big Tech and preserve the internet as we know it. As democracies aim to control Big Tech, Silicon Valley adopts an America-first agenda, and authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled. Nick Clegg, Meta's former President of Global Affairs, reveals where Big Tech has faltered, how Silicon Valley's insularity has led to mistakes, and the necessary radical reforms for global platforms to ensure their future. While new regulations are crucial, imposing national borders on the internet would undermine its capacity for sharing knowledge, collaboration, education, trade, research, and ultimately, for the empowerment and improvement of billions of lives. Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, this is the book we need to save the internet"--Publisher's description.
