As it convenes its much-anticipated Summit for Democracy this week, the Biden administration was set to launch a new Alliance for the Future of the Internet, a bid to rally the world’s democracies around a set of principles that support an open web. The launch of that alliance has now been delayed after civil society activists and even some officials in the U.S. government raised concerns that the new initiative would draw scarce resources away from existing fora dedicated to the advancement of internet freedom, deepen distrust between like-minded actors, and undermine the digital rights of those who live in repressive societies.
