How can we break up the centralized control of the social network ecosystem and enable decentralized alternatives to thrive?

The panel will discuss current legal, cultural, and technological challenges faced by decentralized social networks, identity laws, regulations, and precedent that could impede those networks (including the CFAA, copyright law, and the GDPR’s data portability requirement), and propose legal and policy tools to support those decentralized alternatives.
