A new documentary warns that growing control by major platforms and closed AI systems could undermine the open internet. The open web is arguably the world’s most vital invisible utility – and it is under siege. Code for the People examines the past, present and contested future of the open web. The project presents a call to action for people to contribute to the open web by joining the WordPress community or supporting another open source project. Gene Back composed the music, and the documentary features Automattic co-founder Matt Mullenweg alongside people who build and support the open web.
