Five links that show you what, in my opinion, has been important in the #Web5 orbit during the last week.
1. Taming the Titans
This is a very exciting podcast about BigTech and human rights by @article19org. An apt summary of the current state of our economy and laws. It becomes clear who benefits and who pays. Very worth listening to.
2. Zion app V2
@get_zion is a #Web5 community app from the environment of @jack Dorseyβs TBD. Last week they launched their V2 and I had a glance at the Android app. My first impression: you need an email address to register, which is not very impressive for a Web5 app. But...
Apart from this, it is made for creators and their communities, it has a clean and pleasant design, and you can send money based on the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Actually, I like it. Have a look yourself!

3. BigTech behind bars
Itβs an impressive law that is planned in the UK: the Online Safety Bill. BigTech has to deal with deep fakes, hate speech, and cyber flashing. Violating this law would make the CEO end up in prison. Sounds really crazy? It is.

4. WTF is Nostr?
Last week I dived into the decentralized network called #Nostr. It was very inspiring to experience that new communication and account setup.

The Nostr protocol feels like the future of communication. More than this, Nostr and similar protocols can completely change our way of consuming and communicating online. About my first days on Nostr, I wrote a thread. π
5. AI in video
@runwayml shows that video shoots will be unnecessary soon. Just sit down at your computer and choose the locations and people you need!
I write a weekly newsletter with five commented links about the technology and politics of a better web. We call it #Web5.
