Co-Immunology and the Web

Dear TAG,

  I wrote a short essay that looks at the internet and the web from
an immunological perspective. 

It starts like this:

[[ 
The Covid-19 global pandemic has taught us that immunology is not just
a biological phenomenon, but a personal one requiring us to adopt hygienic
practices, a social one and indeed with the closing of frontiers a
geopolitical one. But it also breaks into the space of technology with
requirements that we learn hygiene rules about reposting content, to limit
transmission of false information about the virus.

I will show how the concept of co-immunity developed by Peter Sloterdijk
can give us a framework to understand this. The essay ends by developing
an analysis of the immunological features of the internet and locate pieces
that we need to make a healthier World Wide Web.

There are a number of references there that could be useful
to inform web architecture.

All the best,
