We regret to inform you that Corbyn has officially nationalized Connected & Disaffected.

Everybody is wondering who will be next. Trains? The internet? What's next - the health service!!?1

We debunk some of the hysteria around these announcements while adding a note of caution around just how ambitious the Labour plans are.

The big issue is figuring out if this push towards nationalizing public assets is just a throwback to simpler times or something that can actually solve modern problems.

A good example: the issue of data in the internet age.

We spoke to Mozilla Fellow Valentina Pavel to explore some of the unresolved tensions we have on that issue.
