It’s a platform for people to educate and activate others about issues that are important for the Internet’s future.

Lots more information on the site, and suggestions of things to think about and to do.

Now here’s a curious example of web-enabled science that would have been impossible a decade ago.

Nor is there any mention in the summary of whether the cows opted in to this study or even were given a chance to opt out.
