Comment on Sundar Pichai argues in court that Google isn’t evil, it’s just a business
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 8 months agoAll I can say is I really agree with your vision, and while I don’t see a path to get there in the current system, especially as individuals, I hope we can.

Fingers crossed. In the technology space, the path for profitability seems to be to restrict competition and competitor traction.
Facebook, Google et Al don’t produce a physical product. There is no reason they should be “sticky” as they are. It’s on purpose. They design their products to make it hard to switch from habit and dopamine fixes rather than quality of product. That manipulation should be punishable.
I think freedom of movement of data should be a requirement. Including using open standards.
We should also have open information. Companies know how much they made in advertising off users. Users should be aware. It might be eye opening and make more people question the service.
