Aphrodite (recharging)I have a hunch @pluralistic would like this video from Norway.
Tusk@Aphrodite @pluralistic he liked it so much that he appeared as an invited guest to the launch of the report on enshittification that this video was created to publicise. This stream is mostly in Norwegian, but he appears at 35:22: https://vimeo.com/1165647336
Seminar og lansering av rapport om «enshittification»
@Aphrodite @pluralistic you can see the whole context here, including a link to the report: https://www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/
Dianora (Diane Bruce)@tusk @Aphrodite @pluralistic Site seems overloaded?
What I can see from archive.org looks excellent!

Breaking Free
In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide. Together with more than 70 consumer groups and other actors in Europe and the US, we are sending letter to policymakers in the EU/EEA, UK and the US.
@Aphrodite @pluralistic However, despite this good work from the consumer council here in Norway, it is worth nothing that 1) they are not on Mastodon but they have a presence on the enshittified platforms they are critical of; and 2) they are enshittifying the Norwegian language by using the English word instead of, say, the Norwegian word “drittifisering” that @bjoernstaerk coined (as far as I know) three years ago.
