“The hard problems of reforming social media are the laws that block interoperability and the management of tech giants’ unwillingness to provide interoperability in the absence of these laws. Because Big Tech can lock people into its silos, it can impose high switching costs on users who have the temerity to leave those silos: they can make you surrender your apps, or your data, or your relationships, or your media, or your customer list.”
― The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation
― The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation
“We must free ordinary Americans from the constant surveillance and manipulation of the tech giants.”
