Susan Crawford:

"I'm proposing a Net Ecology Day.  And it has to be visual, so that people understand the differences between hierarchies and networks and get the chance to care collectively about the health of this network of networks.

It's my belief that the ecology of the net is deeply threatened. It's not just the attacks on P2P networks or government thoughts about requiring authentication as a condition of online life -- although these developments and others give rise to concern -- it's about what seems to be a general sense that the net is a dark and dangerous place.  A seedy place.  A place that needs to be constrained.  "
