Media is all of the information, entertainment, and communication that we send out and take in. Anyone can produce it, and this offers new opportunities and challenges for societies.

• Digital public spaces ought to account for the more fair and even distribution of scarcity in online spaces – not scarcity of land and material resources as in physical spaces, but scarcity of findability and attention.

• Verifiable and accountable sources of information are necessary in any democratic system – the citizenry must be informed in order to vote, act, and contribute to their society accordingly. Mechanisms and protocols like attribute-based credentials and proof of provenance can help us to understand the source of information while protecting individual privacy
