Important Q's to ponder from CC's

@C_Stihler

: "How do we get the balance right? How do we share better? How can we ensure that when we think about the public interest, we're thinking about that common good that #PublicDomain?" #BetterInternet

Reflecting on #SOPAPlusTen, "it makes me optimistic, because that was a moment when there was a lot of global collectivism, collective action and collaboration that came together." -
