We desperately need a new internet

Most of Web3 is still waiting for permission. From VCs. From platforms. From institutions. From the same gatekeepers it claimed it would replace. Joan Westenberg isn’t. She writes like the future is being stolen in real time — and like we still have a chance to take it back. Author of Permissionless : A Manifesto for the Future of Everything Welcome @jawestenberg to Web3 Summit 2026! Embrace a permissionless mindset. Get tickets. web3summit.com/tickets/

We are big believers in Kinesthetic learning. Or, as it's also known: The doer mentality! You probably learn best through hands-on experience, experimentation, and trial and error rather than through lectures. Sound like you? Then you found your people.

This week so far.... 🔵 Bluesky started asking for Age Verification 🤖 Chrome started downloading AI to your computer without asking 🇪🇺 The EU floated banning VPNs 🇺🇸 Utah anti-VPN law went live

@MariekeEhlers @EUCssrMcGrath "VPNs are used for illegal purposes" in the same way that a spoon could also be used for illegal purposes. This is just mostly about data harvesting and $$$.

De Eur. Commissie beweert dat VPN wordt gebruikt voor illegale doeleinden of leeftijdsverificatie te omzeilen. Community note van X toont aan dat dit niet het geval is. EU verspreidt dus fake news. Eerder deze week stelde ik hierover vragen aan EU-commissaris @EUCssRMcGrath 👇🏻

Anonymität im Internet sollte ein Menschenrecht sein.

The first 20 to guess the right answer can join the Web3 Summit in Berlin with a friend for free.

According to Pew, 93% of German adults are online, but how many use social media?

"People who complain about free things are weird." Said somebody on Reddit. We respect the weird ones committed to paying full price. 🎟️ For everyone else: here's a little competition to win FREE tickets to come and join the debate of the summer.

@MariekeEhlers @EU_EDPS 🤮

🛑 De EU bemoeit zich weer met zaken waar ze zich totaal niet mee moet bemoeien. Zo presenteerde ze een app voor leeftijdsverificatie op internet. Dat is op zich al creepy, maar de app bleek ook nog eens zo lek als een mandje. Ik stelde daar vragen over aan de @EU_EDPS. 👇

🚨🇪🇺 EU surveillance is reaching INSANE levels Brussels wants to scan your private messages, photos and files... even in encrypted apps. “Chat Control 2” is mass surveillance dressed up as “safety.” That’s not democracy. That’s DIGITAL TOTALITARIANISM.

If tech companies were brutally honest 💀

Life hacks for going to #berlin Blockchain week 👇👇👇 1: Use @nym VPN to switch your location to another country(for example turkey) to get better Airbnb prices(it's location depended) 2: Use shield.markets to offramp without Kyc to fiat to pay for it 3: Profit

What if the internet did not need landlords? This is the real provocation behind Web3. Not hype or speculation. Just an internet where people hold their own identity, permissions, and privacy. Join the movement. It's happening at Web3 Summit 2026. web3summit.com
