I originally intended to present on how we should be careful not to sleepwalk into closed systems on the web that can be switched off at a moments notice- what I call the Permission-based web. But then the Arab Spring happened. Then the London Riots happened. I decided to take a much deeper look at the Open Society, and how all this ties together.
