boingboing.net/2023/08/02: Cory Doctorow's new book on beating big tech at its own game
Quote:
The book presents an array of policy solutions aimed at dismantling the monopolistic power of Big Tech, making the internet a more open and user-focused space. Key among these solutions is the concept of interoperability, which would allow users to take their apps, data, and content with them when they decide to leave a service, thus reducing the power of tech platforms.
Quote:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.
The Internet Con isn't just an analysis of where en****tification comes from: it's a detailed, shovel-ready policy prescription for halting en****tification, throwing it into reverse and bringing back the old, good internet.
