Over a decade ago in Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom (Basic Books, 2012), Rebecca MacKinnon outlined a number of challenges in holding the "sovereigns of cyberspace" (global internet intermediaries) accountable to the public interest. Her policy recommendations centered around corporate accountability frameworks, human rights standards for governments and private sector alike, multistakeholder internet governance, and the need for a global culture of digital citizenship and activism. In this talk she reflected on what progress has - and has not - been made across a fast-evolving digital and geopolitical landscape. She drew on her own professional experience as a digital rights advocate, policy entrepreneur, and cross-disciplinary research scholar to suggest some research questions and policy recommendations.
