To throw a few Meta executives in The Hague for a decade or two.

Not aware of the concerns you have, but they seem just as valid about other similar concerns across industries.

Any books you'd recommend or journalists to follow that cover this beat?

Unlike India tho, China isn't burdened by American Imperialism and suffering from extreme economic poverty.

Yeah and they won the election based on it. This is why it's extremely important to not just say what people want to hear but actually do it too.

No, the solution is to force tech companies to pay a VAT that can then be used for public benefit software projects.

It's a standard practice in suppressing democratic norms yes. The US has a long sordid history of the elites absolutely hating when commoners practice democratic beliefs.

Let's not forget that many of our "founding fathers" deeply hated democracy and when speaking of the "democracy problem" of the 1780s in America it was mostly referring to commoners in Massachusetts participating in civic duties.

This tradition has never went away and is still practiced today.

Downvoted but absolutely correct. This is what happens when you neglect working people's needs, they will always side with the authoritarian that promises a better future. Neoliberals need to be purged from the DNC if they ever want actual power like the New Deal Coalition held onto (controlled both Houses of Congress for 60 years, won 10/12 Presidential elections with their candidates too).

Nixon literally won his election by promising national price controls. The people love economic relief, even just the promise is enough to win elections.

Didn't Okta had several major hacking incidents over the last decade as well?

You don't think users, paid users at that, shouldn't have a say in product development? Good lord no wonder the public distrusts the tech community so much.

Advertising and marketing tech increases the bloat, I agree. I too think it's insane that Meta has 20,000 engineers for their entire product suite but when you develop for a malware featureset the bloat comes with it.

What do you think of the idea of workplace democracy?

It's the generic tech landing boiler plate page with a very poor color palette. Outside of the colors it's looks very non offense.

What's the issue?

Why should society let market forces decide how we treat a resource necessary for human life? I would rather trust a democratic society more than I'd ever trust any of these anti-humans that currently lead big tech. These people have shown the open disdain they have towards humanity, we are under no obligation to give them whatever they want if they just pay for it. Money is not the issue for them, they do not like being told no.

Society should, and is, openly reject such disdain and contempt toward humanity.

What is the issue here? Local populations don't want to use their communities to satiate the greed of a multi trillion dollar corporation.

They can afford to pay whatever the rates, they just want the public to give them more corporate welfare so they can get greedier while inflicting a surveillance state upon the masses.
