> It's hard to have a counterculture when the dominant tools are all owned by huge corporations and governments. Yes, that is one of the problems (it is not only things that can be problems, though). > Well, it seems that hacker culture and open source software would be the antidote to all these. I think it will not cure everything, but I think that it will help. However, in addition to the software being FOSS, it also needs to be good. (Fortunately, FOSS can help a bit since it makes it possible to make improvements, but that doesn't automatically make it good.)
