"Web2 is a carbon copy of broken social power structures." -@gavofyork
Current issues:
🏦Centralized Power: Large institutions hold absolute power over our data.
⚙️Systemic Risk: Placing all our eggs in one basket makes services vulnerable to single points of failure.
⚖️Mandatory Trust: We are forced to trust the owners and employees behind every service we use.
The Web3 solution: A peer-to-peer, algorithmic model where services are hosted by everyone, not just one provider. It's time to reduce the trust we're forced to give.

Meet Max Hampshire at Web3 Summit.
DevRel at @nymproject, co-founder of @_terra0 technologist, and builder of practical tools for decentralised networks.
Max’s (@_wjth) work sits at the intersection of privacy, infrastructure, and cypherpunk pragmatism: building tools that make decentralised networks harder to capture, easier to use, and worth defending.
Come for the vision. Stay for the systems.

In 2014, Gavin Wood wrote the blueprint for a web where people own their digital lives. Not platforms. Not governments. People.
Parts of the space lost sight of that.
This June, Parity CEO @gavofyork returns to Web3 Summit to share his vision for the next decade of a free internet.
See you in Berlin.

This is exactly what the world needs right now: @maxschrems
As Germany debates encryption, surveillance and who gets access to our data, one of Europe’s sharpest privacy voices comes to Web3 Summit to do what he does best: make Big Tech answer.
Data is political. Privacy has teeth.

@RepublikLabs Listened in, and just FYI, guys, we want the people who attend to get that special feeling, so we're not live-streaming the event. We will have some content drops after the event ofc.
Law doesn’t stop at the border. Neither does Web3.
At Web3 Summit, @andrea_leiter will unpack what governance means in a digital world built to move beyond jurisdictions, institutions, and old assumptions.
Sharp, timely, and essential.
See you there: https://t.co/LdBkqPmOX4
The lineup continues to build with voices you don't want to miss.
We’re thrilled to welcome @nsrnicek — author, theorist, and one of the sharpest voices on platform capitalism, AI, and the political economy of technology — to the @Web3summit stage.
Nick will unpack what’s really at stake as digital infrastructure, ownership, and power are being rewritten.
You'll want to be there. Secure your spot at: https://t.co/HxAiBgqKwA
The reality is, Web3 is so much more that markets, memes and machines.
It's culture being shaped in real time — by communities, belief systems, philosophies and power.
Paul Dylan-Ennis (@post_polar_) has spent years studying what actually makes Bitcoin, Ethereum and blockchain move. At Web3 Summit 2026, he’ll ask the questions the industry can’t keep avoiding.

"Free" internet services may not be free at all.
New @Web3foundation research estimates that Big Tech and AI firms may generate up to $162,492 in lifetime commercial value per internet user.
Searches. Clicks. Prompts. Behaviour.
The internet economy runs on human data.
Who should own the value?
You’ve heard it for years:
“If you’re not paying, you’re the product.”
But what if the true cost of the internet was far higher than anyone realized?
New research from Web3 Foundation suggests Big Tech and AI companies may extract up to $162,492 in lifetime value from each internet user. 🧵
I wrote a free book called Permissionless.
It’s about the people who stopped asking.
Read it before you ask anyone to open the gates:

Concrete halls. Endless corridors. A building designed for broadcasting ideas across borders.
For decades, Funkhaus Berlin was one of Europe’s most iconic radio and recording complexes, its walls carried signals, stories, music, and culture to millions.
This June, it becomes home to a different kind of signal.
For two days, developers, artists, thinkers, builders, musicians, and curious minds gather to explore privacy, sovereignty, and the future of the internet.
Some venues host conferences.
Some places have history.
Funkhaus has both.
See you in Berlin.

The most dangerous surveillance is sold as public service.
Privacy is the line between a citizen and a subject.
A society that normalizes being watched eventually forgets what freedom feels like.
But remember: PRIVACY IS A HUMAN RIGHT.
South Carolina built a surveillance system.
They call it "Age Estimation"
It profiles your behavior every 100 hours.
They called it stopping harm from addictive social media.
The surveillance system is the harm.
