What was the viable alternative we came up to slavery for Southern plantation owners? Ah, that’s right, we didn’t. It was an abusive practice & we ended it. Our job isn’t to find new business models for Google & Facebook, it’s to regulate them & fund alternatives via the commons.

We’re saying almost the same thing. Our job is to fight for our individual and collective sovereignty. I say yes to regulation that adds friction to abusive practices and yes to alternatives that make those practices obsolete, rewriting business models in the process.

But my main argument is that, as long as we live in a capitalist society, re-aligning economic incentives to support the fight for privacy is a good strategy.

I just realized these stories weren't SEO backlink seeding in preparation for an April Fools joke.
