We embarked on this collaborative research series to inform the work of Mozilla’s Data Futures Lab by exploring literature, defining approaches, mapping initiatives, considering risks, and seeking new ways to support a budding ecosystem.
What started as a small decision by a couple of people on the Mozilla Festival team to take a growth hacking professional development course put processes in motion that resulted in nearly 10,000 people from around the world attending a virtual event for internet health: the Mozilla Festival.
In the first week of MozFest 2021, we’ve created zines, built robots, explored deep fake technology in an incredibly immersive group storytelling experience, watched live panels together in Spatial Chat, and explored dozens of topics together, from privacy to data stewardship, to game-making.
Mozilla Fellow Richard Whitt says it’s time for Web companies to do the same, and his new startup Deeper Edge plans to provide a host of fiduciary-based services across the digital spectrum.
