Reading @aral's blog. We should be trying to move away from centralized systems in a time frame faster than 25 years. What I think we're experiencing now is the end of the second wave of the web (web 2.0) in which silos were considered to be the universal solution to digital service access. The problems of centralization and extractive economics are now becoming much clearer, including to people who are not normally obsessed with these kinds of topics before.

I'm pretty confident that whatever web 3.0 is, it's going to be a lot more decentralized, most likely with a mixture of client/server and mesh. It won't be merely a return to Web 1.0 because we've learned a lot in the intervening time.

I havn't read into the details of article 13, but I assume it's the usual copyright zealotry. One way to tackle this is to move to a fully copyleft/CC/public domain web. That is, all materials should be positively identifiable as having a valid public license. Any content without such a license could be rejected automatically. This would work in our favor in the long run, helping to legally cut out the vultures from the system.
