"I’m not saying “the internet doesn’t do any good.” But I am saying that in its current form, the way it is, it’s doing more harm than good. ... The internet is three things: a) an inequality engine, funneling money upwards, and making billionaires even richer, who then b) use it to shift societies hard to the right c) algorithmically, which hides the fact that all this is actually happening."https://eand.co/2023-should-be-the-year-we-admit-the-internet-is-a-failure-dc22121b0253

@sol2070 Granted it is not perfect, but given what is going on with Twitter, Meta, facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp facing fines for data abuse, if we share some of this, maybe, just maybe people will actually wake up.Even what is going on with Politics, is proabbly being fuelled, mis reported by the media, people have got to wake up at some point. I don't know much about Fox, other than what is said here on Fedi (and it is not good) so perhaps things will start to change, people must see what is going on in congress as a real frustration and a national embarrassment.The fediverse is a force for change, even Tim Berners Lee wants, change, @aral is developing small web, so change is coming, just very slowly, which could be a good thing, as it allows more time to adapt and adjust things. 2023 needs to be a year of radical change and it can be.
