Decentralizing Innovation, with Techdirt's Mike Masnick

Описание: Described as something of a Silicon Valley oracle, Techdirt’s Mike Masnick joins Flipboard CEO Mike McCue to discuss how the open social web decentralizes innovation and will lead to “a real revolution in new ideas.”

Mike Masnick founded the blog Techdirt (https://www.techdirt.com/) in 1998, and he wrote a seminal paper called “Protocols Not Platforms” in which he predicted the scenario unfolding before our eyes today. Mike has long informed an influential audience of lawmakers, CEOs and activists. In fact, the New York Times called him “something of a Silicon Valley oracle.”

In this interview, host Mike McCue checks in with Mike Masnick to see how things have gone since he wrote the paper. The two “Mike Ms” also discuss:
