A talk from the hacker conference 39C3 about a post-american enshittification-resistant internet. (in English)
To stop enshittification, we all need to chase away any attempt to capitalize on the internet and get back to the roots of preventing data scarcity.
This seems to be the crux of his argument in his latest book, enshittification. It takes a step beyond his common complaint (DMCA) and suggests other countries ignore their version of it to circumvent US Big Tech laws. I’m all for it, but it requires European governments to understand the situation and act. We’ll see.
That is one big but if I may.
I like big buts and I cannot lie!
If only our politicians had more than 3 neurons and could focus them on the common good instead of their own greed
Then they’d be serving meals at a soup kitchen instead of lying for a living.
As soon as I read his trademark word I knew it was Doctorow, awesome! I’ll give this a full listen sometime later.
