10 days agoi feel like we’re at the point where this extends now beyond privacy and is just about not dilluting human beings into bytes of information to be bought and sold on the stock market like it’s just about basic human rights at this point
google and microsoft are creating a fault line in tech. one that was previously only drawn by Apple. now everyone will be forced to either assimilate or decentralize. which ironically is exactly what the internet needed, it’s grown entirely too privatized in the past decade or so. i sincerely hope this results in more people thinking critically about their tech. and that the next billionaire with an “idea” doesn’t just make everyone complacent again. but all i can do is hope.
