What has been democratic about how the internet has evolved over the last 2 decades? Because as far as I can see, the internet has undergone a massive centralization into the hands of a few players with practically no regulation. Especially Google, which can make decisions such as adding AI Overviews to search results leading to millions of websites seeing a ~25% drop in organic traffic in the last few months.
In practice it means that we are pretty close to how ancient Greeks (in the city state of Athens) defined democracry: ~3% of the population decided - by voting - how the remaining 97% would live their lives.
Tech regulation, or lack thereof, tends to be "biggest pile of money wins", but in this case there's already large anti-Google and anti-AI constituencies which CF may be able to mobilize. Especially in the EU.
