SXSW 2025
Digital Sovereignty Is the New Influencer Status
Description:
Forget about amassing followers within walled gardens. The real power move for creators is ownership and control. Researcher, writer and software engineer Molly White is thinking deeply about how digital ownership is evolving and concludes that sovereignty — the ability to just pick up and go somewhere else — is one of the most important conditions for the modern-day creator. The leading crypto critic discusses how she’s implementing a new model (POSSE) to reclaim her identity on the web and what it means for the future of the internet.
