Arguably nothing is free, and nothing will ever be free, as long as private organizations want to make a profit. This article is hiding the downsides between the lines. Yes, social media is "free" but you pay in data, attention and effort of creating content. I wonder what the parallels to "free" energy and "free" transportation would be. In this future dystopia, you probably don't even own yourself, or your time.
I know this is a few years old, but the current WEF isn't backing away from their dystopian nightmare recommendations. They're already promoting the metaverse for ALL education, effectively creating the typical sci-fi dystopia. The lack of self-awareness is astounding (unless I'm cynical and then conspiracy theories look plausible, how can they not with these ideas).
