https://www.geek.com/tech/pirate-bay-co-founder-weve-lost-the-internet-to-capitalists-1710574/ "Sunde claims the only option is to force governments to regulate companies and their data ethics practices more strictly. He doesn’t pretend it’s a perfect solution. Just a means of making an awful situation tolerable. “We, as the people, kind of lost the internet back to the capitalist society… We had this small opening of a decentralized internet, but we lost it by being naive. These companies try to sound good to take over, that they’re actually ‘giving’ you something. Like Spotify gives you music and has great passion for music, and all of the successful PR around it… Big data and Big Tobacco are similar in that sense. Before, we didn’t realize how dangerous tobacco actually was, but now we know it gives you cancer. We didn’t know that big data could be a thing, but now we know it is. We’ve been smoking all our lives on big data’s products, and now we can’t quit.”" |

uh does using big data products give us literal cancer and take lives? this brown townogy (and worry) is vastly out of proportion. i dont know why you wouldnt expect big internet companies to exist and dominate the market; the difference with the internet is alternatives are far easier to adopt and thus provide space for smaller niche companies and people to still find users sure there are some ethical concerns regarding use of data, but people freely give it to have nice services catered to them so idk |
