Is the internet broken?

Around 75% of the world’s population is online and – in many ways – this makes all our lives better. But faced with a barrage of ads, misinformation, AI slop, toxicity and doom-scrolling, it can feel like the internet is kind of… broken.

What happened? And where are we headed next?

Featuring interviews with: Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, Matthew Williams from Hatelab, author and activist Cory Doctorow and Adele Zeynep Walton from Logging Off Club. Big thanks to students at the University of Cardiff.
