Today,there are many proposals to fix Big Tech, but too often, these proposals start from the premise that Big Tech is permanent and there is no need to consider the way new rules would impact potential competitors, because they're already doomed.
Last year's EU Copyright Directive, for example, with its mandate for expensive copyright filters for online services (how expensive? Google spend $100m developing Contentid, a toy version of what the EU rule requires).

The #GAFAM game plan
1. Build a garden
2. Lure people into the garden
3. Imprison the people inside by building a wall around the garden
4. Gradually destroy the garden and build a shopping mall in its place 🤑

The regulation that ensures you don’t have to change your phone number when you change the provider made it easier for businesses to compete with lower prices. Markets became less "free" but more "open".
Left should move the debate from free vs regulated to free vs open markets.
Nothing reveals the hypocrisy of big businesses like when they beg for government protection from the free market forces they always cite to justify their greed.

Germany's biggest union calls for 4-day week to save thousands of jobs
Germany's automotive and industrial sectors were already undergoing huge structural changes before the pandemic struck.
Jahah, kuorokin sitten jakautuu koronasyksyn ajaksi pienyhtyeiksi altistumisen rajoittamiseksi.

Jahah, on taas se aika vuodesta, kun saa herätä metsästäjien paukutteluun.
Tilanne vaatii nyt teetä ja pikkuleipiä.

Critics of Big Tech are often told, “If you don’t like the company, don’t use its products.”
Last year, @kashhill tried — really tried — to do just that. It wasn't possible.

There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.
Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.
There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science
https://fediscience.org/invite/j6X8z7qF
Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.
Ah, loma. Ja käly nappasi vahingossa mukaansa mun älypuhelimen laturin.
Jos kesäyö, jona lämpötila ei laske alle 20 asteen, on trooppinen yö... onko kesäyö, jona lämpötila laskee alle 10 asteen, subarktinen kesäyö?
Puhelin hajosi, puheeni ei kuulu toiseen päähän. Taas tulee miettineeksi, mihin älypuhelinta todella tarvitaan.
