The internet is beyond fixing, we need a new one

The internet is beyond fixing, we need a new one: The web has caused tremendous political, economic and societal problems, and we “desperately” need a new internet, FT correspondent Hannah Kuchler tells us in a video for FT Rethink (watch, runtime: 02:09). We are now routinely seeing people losing money and reputation, as well as witnessing previously unheard of interference in elections, says Kuchler, citing the more trivial examples of what is wrong with the internet. But something “truly terrible” could happen before we step in to get it right, she warns.
