The open internet once seemed inevitable. Now, as global economic woes mount and interest rates climb, the dream of the 2000s feels like it’s on its last legs. After abruptly blocking access to unregistered users at the end of last month, Elon Musk announced unprecedented caps on the number of tweets—600 for those of us who aren’t paying $8 a month—that users can read per day on Twitter. The move follows the platform’s controversial choice to restrict third-party clients back in January.

This wasn’t a standalone event. Reddit announced in April that it would begin charging third-party developers for API calls this month. The Reddit client Apollo would have to pay more than $20 million a year under new pricing, so it closed down, triggering thousands of subreddits to go dark in protest against Reddit’s new policy. The company went ahead with its plan anyway.

Leaders at both companies have blamed this new restrictiveness on AI companies unfairly benefitting from open access to data. Musk has said that Twitter needs rate limits because AI companies are scraping its data to train large language models. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has cited similar reasons for the company’s decision to lock down its API ahead of a potential IPO this year.

These statements mark a major shift in the rhetoric and business calculus of Silicon Valley. AI serves as a convenient boogeyman, but it is a distraction from a more fundamental pivot in thinking. Whereas open data and protocols were once seen as the critical cornerstone of successful internet business, technology leaders now see these features as a threat to the continued profitability of their platforms.

It wasn’t always this way. The heady days of Web 2.0 were characterized by a celebration of the web as a channel through which data was abundant and widely available. Making data open through an API or some other means was considered a key way to increase a company’s value. Doing so could also help platforms flourish as developers integrated the data into their own apps, users enriched datasets with their own contributions, and fans shared products widely across the web. The rapid success of sites like Google Maps—which made expensive geospatial data widely available to the public for the first time—heralded an era where companies could profit through free, mass dissemination of information.

“Information Wants To Be Free” became a rallying cry. Publisher Tim O’Reilly would champion the idea that business success in Web 2.0 depended on companies “disagreeing with the consensus” and making data widely accessible rather than keeping it private. Kevin Kelly marveled in WIRED in 2005 that “when a company opens its databases to users … [t]he corporation’s data becomes part of the commons and an invitation to participate. People who take advantage of these capabilities are no longer customers; they’re the company’s developers, vendors, skunk works, and fan base.” Investors also perceived the opportunity to generate vast wealth. Google was “most certainly the standard bearer for Web 2.0,” and its wildly profitable model of monetizing free, open data was deeply influential to a whole generation of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.

Of course, the ideology of Web 2.0 would not have evolved the way it did were it not for the highly unusual macroeconomic conditions of the 2000s and early 2010s. Thanks to historically low interest rates, spending money on speculative ventures was uniquely possible. Financial institutions had the flexibility on their balance sheets to embrace the idea that the internet reversed the normal laws of commercial gravity: It was possible for a company to give away its most valuable data and still get rich quick. In short, a zero interest-rate policy, or ZIRP, subsidized investor risk-taking on the promise that open data would become the fundamental paradigm of many Google-scale companies, not just a handful.

Web 2.0 ideologies normalized much of what we think of as foundational to the web today. User tagging and sharing features, freely syndicated and embeddable links to content, and an ecosystem of third-party apps all have their roots in the commitments made to build an open web. Indeed, one of the reasons that the recent maneuvers of Musk and Huffman seem so shocking is that we have come to expect data will be widely and freely available, and that platforms will be willing to support people that build on it.

But the marriage between the commercial interests of technology companies and the participatory web has always been one of convenience. The global campaign by central banks to curtail inflation through aggressive interest rate hikes changes the fundamental economics of technology. Rather than facing a landscape of investors willing to buy into a hazy dream of the open web, leaders like Musk and Huffman now confront a world where clear returns need to be seen today if not yesterday.

This presages major changes ahead for the design of the internet and the rights of users. Twitter and Reddit are pioneering an approach to platform management (or mismanagement) that will likely spread elsewhere across the web. It will become increasingly difficult to access content without logging in, verifying an identity, or paying a toll. User data will become less exportable and less shareable, and there will be increasingly fewer expectations that it will be preserved. Third-parties that have relied on the free flow of data online—from app-makers to journalists—will find APIs ever more expensive to access and scraping harder than ever before.

We should not let the open web die a quiet death. No doubt much of the foundational rhetoric of Web 2.0 is cringeworthy in the harsh light of 2023. But it is important to remember that the core project of building a participatory web where data can be shared, improved, critiqued, remixed, and widely disseminated by anyone is still genuinely worthwhile.

The way the global economic landscape is shifting right now creates short-sighted incentives toward closure. In response, the open web ought to be enshrined as a matter of law. New regulations that secure rights around the portability of user data, protect the continued accessibility of crucial APIs to third parties, and clarify the long-ambiguous rules surrounding scraping would all help ensure that the promise of a free, dynamic, competitive internet can be preserved in the coming decade.

For too long, advocates for the open web have implicitly relied on naive beliefs that the network is inherently open, or that web companies would serve as unshakable defenders of their stated values. The opening innings of the post-ZIRP world show how broader economic conditions have actually played the larger role in architecting how the internet looks and feels to this point. Believers in a participatory internet need to reach for stronger tools to mitigate the effects of these deep economic shifts, ensuring that openness can continue to be embedded into the spaces that we inhabit online.

I know you're busy with Leverage at the moment, but when you get the time I would LOVE to hear what your thoughts are on the current season of Doctor Who!!

So with Doctor Who, it's something that I've been watching with my parents since it was rebooted in 2005. In part because they had the BBC America channel and in part because it was nice to have something to share with them in high school and through college and all the years since. Now I've got the Disney+ so I've been continuing the tradition and keeping to watching the episodes first with them.

This does put me two episodes behind right now, though I haven't really been avoiding spoilers. Spoilers have never really bothered me and it's hard to avoid them anyway.

I've been enjoying the season so far. I don't think Ruby's a stand out companion quite the way Rose, Martha, or Donna were for me, but she's been a really solid and enjoyable character and I think she fits really well with the Doctor. This Doctor has felt like the Doctor from the very start, which is a difficult landing to stick. (I'd say Eleven took the longest to feel like the Doctor to me, but every actor gets there eventually.)

I'm gonna stick the rest under the cut where I ramble about the episodes I've seen thus far.

Space Babies was really well done considering how many babies were involved and how long filming with the babies probably took. I really like the opening where Ruby stepped on the butterfly and became some kind of non-Silurian reptile. All those times the Doctor insisted that stepping on a butterfly couldn't change anything and why would you step on one anyway??? And... yeah, it's been the TARDIS protecting the timeline the whole time. Martha deserves to know this, I think.

I liked all the callbacks to earlier seasons - there was definitely similarities to Rose's first jaunt to the future. Return of the super phone. The Rani got name dropped and I'm fond of her as a villain. Amy would say Ruby got off easy with a little snot compared to space whale barf. *snicker*

Though the episode is about saving the babies and taking them somewhere they'll be wanted and raised, I feel like the episode is a pretty pointed take that at the anti-abortion crowd that is so concerned with making abortions illegal but don't do anything to ensure those babies are taken care of after they're born. A message I'm sure that whooshed right over my parents heads... :/

The bogeyman not being evil, just being made to sound that way was an interesting twist. And when the Doctor was explaining the sound thing I was all 'ooooh, I know this science fact' so they mixed some real science into their science fiction. ^_^

It's not a stand out episode, but it was a fun one. I missed Susan Twist in there but I'm fairly certain I'd catch her on rewatch. It does loose points for the Doctor thinking it's odd he was afraid of the boogeyman when he's been afraid before. Many times. I think that could have been handled better by having him specify that he hasn't been that afraid without there being a real reason before or... ya know... leaving that bit of attempted foreshadowing out entirely.

The Devil's Chord was more fun to me. They did a Beatles episode entirely without the Beatles music, color me impressed that it actually works.

The Maestro was interesting though I'm not thrilled that we have another explicitly nonbinary character who is... a villain. With the Meep there was Rose who was transfem nonbinary, so despite having a villainous queer... the Meep wasn't the only nonbinary character around. (Though wow did that episode flub the ending with the gender essentialism showing up to slap the Doctor in the face.) I appreciate that they're trying to bring in more nonbinary characters and trans actors onto the show, but we're not to the point where having the only nonbinary character on an episode be the villain isn't a little... questionable on the message it sends. Admittedly, the Doctor is self described as trans now (thank you 14) but he also currently identifies as a guy and is played by a guy so... it's hard to feel like the Doctor is truly trans rep right now even though he's basically retconned as such. I'll get there.

There were once again callbacks to previous seasons. How can the world be destroyed now when I'm proof it won't be? The Doctor showing his companion how a bad future has replaced the good one she came from. (Pretty sure that was even some foreshadowing of Sutekh there because while I haven't seen the OG series, I've poked around a lot of TARDIS wiki pages about Sarah Jane. And like I said, not avoiding spoilers so I know Sutekh is the Twist at the end, lol.)

Ruby's song was pretty and I really could never get tired of Maestro just climbing out of random pianos. The Doctor muting everything was a neat trick that I'd love to see again but we probably won't. And I like that the Doctor flubbed the chance he had to seal the Maestro back up. Sometimes the Doctor fails, it's always interesting to see how they come back from that.

But... I'm not sure the Beatles saving the day worked for me. It was well foreshadowed, so it wasn't a surprise. But I think that ultimately took something away from Ruby. I think this should have been her first companion saves the day moment, completing the chord while the Maestro was distracted taunting the Doctor with his failure.

Ultimately, another good episode but I'm not sure it's a true stand out one of the greats episode.

Boom was really good. You know you have an excellent actor playing the Doctor when he can hold the episode together while standing on a roomba for an hour.

I... could not get it out of my head that the explosive was a roomba. That's just a roomba with blinky lights. Let it go, it'll sweep the room for you and get stuck on the carpet while sending 'help I'm stuck' texts to your phone.

Still, the anti-war message was well done, the anti-ableism is kinda blink and miss it, the anti-religion message was a bit heavy handed, I love that it was parental love that saved the day. Ruby nearly dying and the snow showing up again - this makes... three times now, I think, that snow shows up randomly with her. They've come a long way with keeping the foreshadowing consistent across episodes from how Bad Wolf was something that had to get sneaked into episodes late in the game back in the last time we had an S1 (2005, the ninth Doctor, still feel robbed that we didn't have a second season with him).

It definitely felt like a Moffat episode. I don't know how to explain it, but he does really tight, well done single episode plots. Which makes it that more frustrating that he doesn't know how to write an overarching seasonal plot to save his life. And mocks people for expecting him to be able to do so.

I think this is where I first really caught Susan Twist. Hard to miss as Ambulance, but I was like 'huh, I could have sworn I've seen her before' and checked IMDB. And realized I was recognizing her from a cameo on the previous episode. And Space Babies.

The Anglican Marines were a callback to a Moffat era episode, which was another thing that made it feel like a Moffat episode even before I realized it was one. It's a very distinctive callback. (couldn't resist a Leverage reference there, lol)

I really liked 73 Yards. It was a great Ruby episode, establishing her as quite the determinator. Of course, it was filmed while the Doctor was still hanging out in Barbie Land, hence why it's a Doctor lite episode. I've really enjoyed all the fandom meta about fairy circles and Welsh culture regarding what the woman 73 yards away may have really been. It's one of those episodes where it's more interesting to leave things unexplained, kind of like with Midnight.

Honestly, I think this episode is a stand out one to me. It's about being punished for breaking rules you didn't know existed and the fear of being abandoned in a split second by people who loved you or liked you just moments before. It's about standing up against evil even when it seems like it's too big to truly be touched.

Ruby not being able to hold down a relationship because she's just... constantly preoccupied by other things? Feels very aro to me. I'm claiming Ruby for the aromantics now. :D Also love that they need to age Ruby up some? Just slap on some glasses. It's all good. Better than some of the age ups done on the Flash, tbh.

I also like that saving the world from one bad guy isn't an insta-reset. Ruby has to finish living her life and only then does she get a chance to set things right. And I'd like to think that this domino effects the bad guy out of existence since he - or whatever he may have been possessed by? - was never released.

Now Dot and Bubble... I think if I hadn't had the 'they're all racists' thing spoiled the episode would have hit harder. But honestly there was something off about Lindy from the start so I'm not sure I'd have liked her even if I hadn't known. Ricky being a rebel for not spending his entire day online was more annoying than anything. I do agree he was being used to demonstrate that had the Doctor been white still, he'd have had the Finetime survivors doing whatever he asked. But Ricky was still a racist among racists and while I feel bad Lindy shoved him under the bus and I do wonder if he might have been willing to shelve his prejudices in order to survive... I don't care enough to check out fanfic for other people's takes on him.

Honestly, Lindy was no Sally Sparrow or any of the other one off point of view characters we had. Which, she was a racist all along, so that fits. But it also means it's not the kind of episode that really sticks with me.

I do think the episode did a good job of pointing out how insidious and normalized racism can look. Oh, here's Ricky, a silly guy who sings and reads books. Oh there's Lindy, she can't even walk without someone calling out directions for her. But evil is very human. It isn't monstrous and other, it's people who initially seem very likeable. Who say things and you agree with them only to realize later that what they were saying and what they meant were two very different things and you weren't agreeing with what you thought you were.

These are the seemingly polite, smiling neo nazis who think the lesser races are meant to serve. The real monsters weren't the slugs or the AI run amok. They were just the clean up crew.

It is heartbreaking though that the Doctor still wants to save these people and can't. They won't let him. And here I am hoping that their boat went straight into the mouth of a giant water slug.

I'm looking forward to watching Rogue, the Bridgerton homage. I'm not sure how I feel about Rogue, but I'm sure I'll find him delightful once I actually see him in action. And of course now Doctor Who has been hit by the Disney First Gay Curse, in which every queer character is the first gay character so that they can be erased or otherwise minimized when the next first gay character arrives. Jack Harkness did not kiss the Ninth Doctor for the first gay kiss on the show to be attributed now - many queer kisses between various characters later - to the first season on Disney+.

Booo.

And then the penultimate episode will be bringing back Sutekh from the original series, neatly tying the 'new' supernatural stuff back into the old supernatural stuff that's been part and parcel with the show - and the Who-niverse at large, thank you Sarah Jane vs the Trickster and Torchwood vs fairies - for decades and decades now. Just as I was saying before the season started airing. Supernatural elements in Doctor Who aren't new, this isn't some brand new direction for the show. It's just the old made new again and that is delightful.

i'm looking forward to finding out what's really up with Ruby and her magic snow and her constantly shifting in time mother. And I'm glad both she and 15 are going to be sticking around for another season.

That said... this isn't going to be taking the place of my favorite season or even the top five. it's missing something and I'm not quite sure what.

(But also I'm so glad they're bringing back the Pantheon of Discord elements that were going to be in the Sarah Jane Adventures but had to be dropped after Elizabeth Sladen's death. It feels like a bit of an homage to Sarah Jane and to Elizabeth to bring back the dropped plot lines and have them carried forward after all. Not how the Sarah Jane Adventures would have done it, of course, but in a way that honors what the Sarah Jane Adventures had already established.)

Check out the 2022 line-up here.

I've also just put together a YouTube playlist containing trailers for all of the films I’ve screened since I started the festival back in 2012. You can find that here (I hope it proves useful).

We went to see the new Stephen King movie The Boogeyman we were originally going to go and see The Machine but apparently that is not playing anymore so we had to go to the next one on the list of movies to go see. Now I was a bit confused on this when I seen the first trailers for it becasue I was like "is this some type of sequel? I remember watching like a series of Boogeyman movies?" and yes there was Boogeyman movies is the early 2000s there was 3 of them from 2005-2008

But this one is not part of that series and it is not a remake of any of those movies also this is not an adaption of the Stephen King story but more like a sequel to it? I think that would make sense if you actually read the story but I didn't so this to me comes off as a stand alone movie.

Now personally I thought the movie was pretty good. It had a nice build up with its slow burn as I like to say I felt it is interesting and and it did keep my interested and a bit on the edge of my seat like what is going to happen next. I didn't find it overly scary there was plenty of good jumps and I feel that the Horror was very atmospheric and situational like what would you do in this situation.

the only thing I kinda didn't like about it was they didn't go into any type of the history or mythology of "The Boogeyman" they give a loose explanation of what it is and what it wants but nothing very concrete. There is no like investigation its just pretty much there is a creature we have to stop it! type of thing.

The story is pretty much this after the death of a child a family is torn apart by grief which leads Lester Billings (David Dastmalchian) to seek help from a Will Harper (Chris Messina) who is a therapist ans who is also dealing with the recent loss of his wife and mother to his 2 girls. while helping Lester with his grief he unwittingly introduces the evil his children called The Boogeyman into Will's house and the creature begins to stalk and threaten Will's teenage girl and her younger sister as it feeds off their despair and grief and they try to get their grieving father to pay attention before it's too late becasue Its the thing that comes for your kids when you're not paying attention..

I do like the idea of the testicles or vines that infect and spread throughout the house like it is the spreading of the sadness, despair and doubt as it takes hold of the house and the family I thought that was a good way to represent it physically.

As for the The Boogeyman himself he is not really a man he is pretty much a creature and I liked how they slowly introduced him I thought what you see of him was really cool I did like the design, He truly is what nightmares are made of! but in the frame of this movie I felt that the The Boogeyman character was the embodiment of fear/uncertainty/grief/despair and so on. but he was a pretty cool creature to say the least.

but like I said I thought this movie was pretty good I enjoyed it. It did remind me of somewhat recent movies like Come Play (2020) and Smile (2022) those are excellent movies and if you haven't seen them you should give them a watch along with this one which I would recommend if you are looking for something that is kinda spooky.

Boogeyman (2005)

My rating: 6/10

Very over-reliant on jump scares, and the CGI monster looks risible, but it does somehow manage to create a decent bit of spooky atmosphere at times, and the finale is nice and wacky.
