"We Need to Rewild the Internet" by Maria Farrell and Robin Berjon
The title, the epigraph by Ursula K. Le Guin as well as the first paragraphs are quite promising. However, I found it difficult to follow the arguments as I lack the necessary knowledge on this subject (internet governance) and the few given explanations were not sufficient. 3.5/5

3rd story, "Letting Naomi Die" by Katie Engelhart
Finally a longer piece, exploring concerns regarding palliative psychiatry and terminal anorexia. Readers follow the story of Naomi and her lifelong struggle with anorexia; it's writting with much empathy, yet examines arguements from many different perspectives.
4.5/5
