Network effects. You and me care. Sadly the vast majority around us bow unquestioningly to demands made by powerful groups like their govt or huge mega-corps. People seem to think these power-centres will always be benevolent and flawless... which history shows is a big mistake to assume.
- wallace_f 9y agoFake News! Can't we have some trusted institution like ycombinator put these kind of comments through their truth filter before allowing them to be posted? They could even partner with Facebook to do this. /s
- bsaul 9y agoI wouldn’t put a democratic government on the same level of danger than profit driven mega corps. I’m pro free market, but some corps have reach state-level impact on people lives, and they remain without any kind of overview. I also don’t want state-run web sites to try to provide alternatives to Google ( like europe tried to do 10 years ago), so i think the foundation model is the perfect structure for that. Economically responsible, but not profit driven.
