Abstract

This chapter looks at provocations for the future of Internet governance. Policy entanglements with previously distinct spheres—consumer safety, systems of democracy, cryptocurrency, and environmental protection—expand the scope of global Internet governance. Power relations in the multistakeholder governance regime shift as new companies, new standards regimes, and new tensions arise between bordered government regulatory responses and a global cyber-physical architecture. Meanwhile, the rising stakes of digital security, such as to consumer safety and national security, challenge some venerable norms of Internet governance. Lastly, notions of a free and open Internet, still vitally important, move toward notions of security, stability, and reliability.
