The Internet is today a space in conflict. The capacity for democratic control of the network of networks is increasingly distant from citizens, and its governance is concentrated in a few companies that operate on a global scale and that are always ahead of the regulatory processes that should guarantee fundamental rights in the digital era.

What is the future of the Internet? What risks and dangers are we facing in this scenario? Is it possible to change these dynamics at a global level? What are the democratic challenges of the Internet of the future? From the Decidim project and from the city of Barcelona we open a new edition of the Decidim Fest - on 13 and 14 October at the Canòdrom -, and on this occasion we do so to address these questions in the face of the urgency of finding concrete answers to think about and build the Internet of the future.
