Nice piece by Doctorow. For me, the essential point is that no single for-profit entity is capable of mediating the interests of all of humanity, or even 10% of it. It necessarily puts its interests ahead of all whom it purports to serve.

Alberto Chimal (albertochimal@mstdn.mx)'s status on Monday, 10-Jul-2023 06:56:05 JST Alberto Chimal What's the difference between #Mastodon and #Threads? Next time someone tells you they're both not-#Twitter and that's it, #recommend them to read this #article by @pluralistic. It's about #capitalism, #monopolies and the way #corporate #SocialMedia has locked us in their #VirtualSpaces, without right to appeal.
