How to Save the Internet
Author(s): Nick Clegg
Format: Paperback
The Threat to Global Connection in the Age of AI and Political Conflict
'A gripping and timely book. Nick Clegg writes with clarity, authority and urgency' PETER FRANKOPAN
The global, open internet is fragmenting. How To Save the Internet outlines the global cooperation needed to reform Big Tech and preserve the internet as we know it.
As democracies aim to control Big Tech, Silicon Valley adopts an America-first agenda, and authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled.
Nick Clegg, Meta's former President of Global Affairs, reveals where Big Tech has faltered, how Silicon Valley's insularity has led to mistakes, and the necessary radical reforms for global platforms to ensure their future.
While new regulations are crucial, imposing national borders on the internet would undermine its capacity for sharing knowledge, collaboration, education, trade, research, and ultimately, for the empowerment and improvement of billions of lives.
Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, this is the book we need to save the internet.
'A vital read for anyone building or regulating the next era of technology' REID HOFFMAN, LinkedIn Co-Founder
About the Author
Nick Clegg recently stepped down as President, Global Affairs at Meta, the company’s chief policy decision-maker and its principal interlocutor with world leaders, governments and policymakers around the globe. Previously he was Deputy Prime Minister of the UK. At Meta, he shifted the company toward engagement with regulation, created an independent Oversight Board and opened it up to rigorous academic research. He managed some of the most complex issues the company faces, including content policy and elections, and took key decisions on the suspension (and later reinstatement) of President Trump, the handling of misinformation during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the company’s response to Russian state media and covert operations following the invasion of Ukraine. He is the author of two bestselling books and speaks five languages.
