'The problem with, say, Meta, is only partially that Mark Zuckerberg is personally monumentally unsuited to serving as the unelected, unaccountable permanent social media czar for three billion people.
The real problem is that no one should have that job. That job shouldn’t exist. We don’t need to find a better Mark Zuckerberg.
We need to abolish Mark Zuckerberg.'
great stuff from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic

'Platforms aren’t merely combustible, they’re always on fire. Once you trap hundreds of millions — or billions — of people inside a walled fortress, where warlords who preside over have unlimited power over their captives, and those captives the are denied any right to liberate themselves, enshittification will surely and inevitably follow.'
@sy @pluralistic
This, but also anything that results in billionaires, quite frankly.
I’m fine with there being many people who are stupidly rich.
But billions means a dangerous amount of unwarranted power.
No monarchs. No oligarchs. Period.
Social media belong in public hands with regulations in place, not in the hands of private enterprise. It's that simple.
