The pioneers (tech giants) of this space hoard the technology for themselves. How is the next generation going to pioneer new tech innovations when they don't even grow up in an environment where they can learn about #generalpurposecomputing ? Because general purpose computing will be locked away from the public. This is not just a disaster for privacy and liberty, this greed is a disaster for the economy.

"When Schmidt and McNealy and Zuck tell us that we don't have #privacy or we don't want privacy, or that privacy is bad for us, they're disguising a demand as an observation. "Privacy is dead" actually means, "When privacy is dead, I will be richer than you can imagine, so stop trying to save it, goddamnit."
