nigini commented on Governable Spaces by Nathan Schneider
"Authoritarianism today takes different forms than it did in the past, adapting its tactics against those of democracy. For democracy to thrive, its institutions must be vulnerable to continual reinvention. Its traditions must be alive enough to permit that. The task of making online spaces governable, therefore, should begin with imaginations radical enough to transcend existing institutions, together with the playfulness to hone imagination in practice."
