While he agrees that new regulation is vital, he warns that building national borders around the internet is not the answer. Such fragmentation, he contends, would cripple the web's unparalleled ability to enable knowledge-sharing, collaboration, education, trade, and scientific discovery--threatening the progress and empowerment of billions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Radical, reasoned, and deeply felt, \u003ci\u003eHow to Save the Internet\u003c\/i\u003e offers a clear-eyed blueprint for global cooperation--one that seeks to reform Big Tech while preserving the openness and interconnectedness upon which our shared future depends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ​\"A gripping and timely book.

Previously he was Deputy Prime Minister of the UK. At Meta, he shifted the company toward engagement with regulation, created an independent Oversight Board and opened it up to rigorous academic research. He managed some of the most complex issues the company faces, including content policy and elections, and took key decisions on the suspension (and later reinstatement) of President Trump, the handling of misinformation during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the company's response to Russian state media and covert operations following the invasion of Ukraine. He is the author of two bestselling books and speaks five languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48874619699449,"sku":"9781529948783","price":23.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/DrsZA5eBYv9781529948783.webp?v=1787326704","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/how-to-save-the-internet-the-threat-to-global-connection-in-the-age-of-ai-and-political-conflict-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
