摘要

几十年来,互联网的支持者一直承诺,总有一天,它会为世界上的每个人提供一种无缝的方式来相互交流,而不需要引入新的边界、看门人或权力结构。发生了什么事?本文探讨了帮助Internet实现广泛采用的一个关键设计特性的系统级特征,以及多年来由于该特性而出现的某些使用模式的系统级含义。这种模式包括系统一级接受特定的权威,促进和执行权力集中的机制,以及隐性惩罚那些不遵守特权行为者所作决定的人的网络效应。我们提供了这些模式的例子,并提供了一些关键的观察结果,以发展一个一般性的理论,解释为什么尽管我们尽了最大的努力,它们还是出现了。我们最后提出了一些建议,告诉我们如何减轻最坏的结果,避免未来出现类似的经历。

The forgotten preconditions for a well-functioning internet
Abstract For decades, proponents of the Internet have promised that it would one day provide a seamless way for everyone in the world to communicate with each other, without introducing new boundaries, gatekeepers, or power structures. What happened? This article explores the system-level characteristics of a key design feature of the Internet that helped it to achieve widespread adoption, as well as the system-level implications of certain patterns of use that have emerged over the years as a result of that feature. Such patterns include the system-level acceptance of particular authorities, mechanisms that promote and enforce the concentration of power, and network effects that implicitly penalize those who do not comply with decisions taken by privileged actors. We provide examples of these patterns and offer some key observations, toward the development of a general theory of why they emerged despite our best efforts, and we conclude with some suggestions on how we might mitigate the worst outcomes and avoid similar experiences in the future.
