     "If the fines...Facebook faced for invading our privacy exceeded the ad-targeting revenue it makes by doing so, it would stop spying on us. Facebook wouldn't like it. Zuck would hate it. But he'd do it, because he spies on us to make money, not because he's a voyeur." Totally excellent piece from @pluralistic on profit, enshittification and federation https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/20/capitalist-unrealism/#praxis

     Cory Doctorow and anban repeated this.

     @pluralistic “...Bluesky is in a dangerous place: not because it is backed by VCs, not because it is a for-profit entity, but because it has captive users and no constraints. It's a great party in a sealed building with no fire exits” https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/20/capitalist-unrealism/#praxis
