@ollicle The two are not mutually exclusive. With today’s web standards Google and Facebook and every other surveillance capitalist out there is helping build a global corporate panopticon. Entirely standards compliant (it helps that they’re the ones writing the standards).
Web standards are great but they do not imply any ethical framework to what is produced.
So I’m more interested in how we learn from the past to go forward differently and create a fairer and kinder world.
