We should nationalize the big tech companies, or at least mandate that they operate on open protocols. There is no good reason to allow these mega tech companies to keep making profits off the back of the value that is almost entirely created by the users. Especially when making those profits makes the product worse for the very users that make it’s existence possible.
I’d be glad to see some changes, but I’d be pretty concerned to see a large part of big social being nationalized and run by the US government. Especially with one of the USA’s two political parties openly supporting fascism.
I think the best thing we can do right now is work on alternative platforms and protocols that do not rely on tons of VC money to stay afloat.
That was fascinating and depressing.
