"The human web, the one made by regular people, is resurgent," writes Anil Dash. "We are about to see the biggest reshuffling of power on the internet in 25 years, in a way that most of the internet's current users have never seen before." One driver of change: the regulators, who are finally pushing back against the tech giants. Another is the plethora of social networks following the demise of X/Twitter.
