Things like this that worry me and make me diametrically opposed to any of the big company employees holding seats of authority at any body residing over any spec or working groups as well. They'll never have the user's interest at heart.

- ilaksh 9y agoThe big companies have almost gained complete control of the US: from Amazon for online retail, Walmart offline, Facebook social et al social, Google information retrieval, monopoly ISPs, Uber, etc. So I keep reiterating the solution I see which is to replace these monopolies with public distributed peer to peer evolving technologies. And no one seems to support me when I suggest this is possible or desirable.
- zdkl 9y agoI'm entirely of your opinion, but what you describe doesnnt sound like the US way of handling things. There are some initiatives in that direction from INRIA and other european groups but aside from GNU and the EFF no one is even talking about things like Taler in the states.
