It's a balance between a single company being able to lock its cattle because of proprietary shenanigans, and the users having leverage over how they are being used. The EU is fighting for the second one. Unless you are a big company I fail to see how you can honestly defend the first one.

- rakoo 4y agoYes, cattle. Those companies don't see you as humans with rights and wants and needs but as resources producing content and being milked for profit. Whatever happens on FB belongs to FB, whoever wrote it. Your attention is sold to announcers, your messages are examined to build a profile, your connections and friendships are vectors to optimize targeting, the content you see is decided by the company to maximize their revenues and their political views. If they could capture your thoughts directly from your brain and leave you not even seeing the light of the day, they would.
