How to Give the Government New Power to “Un-Person” Someone, in Three Easy Steps

The big push for state digital driver's #licenses that we’ve been warning about is effectively a movement to increase the power of big companies and government to control individuals. One feature of the licenses most states are adopting that may prove to be particularly dangerous is #revocation — how and when people’s IDs can be canceled

Nothing in Commons: the end of digital collective ownership?

I'm sharing a new text where I try to summarize some older thoughts that have been slowly fermenting in the past years regarding the dead-end in which the digital commons have landed. I discuss the discomfort of their growing ambivalence, and the incredible difficulty, but urgency to move forward beyond this concept and rethink collective objectives in relation to digital tools and practices.

It is the follow-up of a copyleft/copyright/copywhat licensing workshop I gave at https://spookstad.boo. Amsterdam Alternative asked me to contribute an essay on the digital commons based on some of the topics discussed in the workshop for their web docu on collective ownership.

The text is also available in Dutch, thanks to a translation by Menno Grootveld from Starfish Books.

Illustration: Pyramid of Universal Openness by Marloes de Valk, based on Pyramid of Capitalist System, issued by Nedeljkovich, Brashich, and Kuharich in 1911, itself inspired by 1901 Nikolai Nikolaevich Lokhoff’s Social Pyramid, that was probably derived from Pyramide à Renverser from Parti ouvrier belge (POB) in 1900. And so on. CC4r Collective Conditions for reuse. Created as part of ‘Prompt 8: Never yours to begin with’ during Revisit Reuse, organised by Femke Snelting and Eva Weinmayr at Constant, 1 - 4 May 2024.

It is essentially an illustration meant to highlight the hierarchical structure of extractive social mechanisms taking place in society. Marloes has tweaked it to reflect how these mechanism can be also found in the broader ecosystem of the digital commons. — Illustration: Pyramid of Universal Openness by Marloes de Valk, based on Pyramid of Capitalist System, issued by Nedeljkovich, Brashich, and Kuharich in 1911, itself inspired by 1901 Nikolai Nikolaevich Lokhoff’s Social Pyramid, that was probably derived from Pyramide à Renverser from Parti ouvrier belge (POB) in 1900.
