Like every Sunday – or almost following a break of almost six years – here is our selection of the most interesting links of recent days. They come from the most interesting/useful/original comments of the week, but also from our research.
Portraits of Monsieur Octopus and Aaron Swartz
In its Brave New World column, France Culture offers a look back at the story of the comedian Monsieur Poulpe. He ” began publishing videos on the internet well before the advent of YouTube-type platforms, hence its status as a web dinosaur “. He has been able to adapt to changes in the Internet over the years. He went through Nolife, Le Golden Show, Studio Bagel, Canal+ then… Top Gear France.
Still at France Culture, but in the column What happens to us on the web, our colleagues return to Aaron Swartzand ” contemporary hero » coupled with a fervent defender of digital freedom. He committed suicide in 2013 at age 26.
Some feats of arms: The following year, at the age of 14, he participated in the creation of the RSS format (RSS feed), which notably allows the dissemination of information without necessarily going through general media. The same year, following his meeting with the great jurist Lawrence Lessig, Aaron Swartz participated in the creation of Creative Commons, alternative licenses to copyright, which have become essential tools for the dissemination of knowledge in the digital universe ».
