@sarahjeong def, when patent law (law in general) is so behind current practice something's gotta happen so yay private solutions -
@azninthesun there's definitely something to be said about how the incentives aren't aligned for the stronger private solutions -
@azninthesun collective action problems! theoretically what government is supposed to solve

@sarahjeong lmao exactly but when legislature leaves big ole gaping holes in regulatory statutes... daddy google shall step in and save us! -
@azninthesun and it's literally a significant net positive for the world lol -
@sarahjeong yeah I'm trying to reconcile so many things in my head... not worried about google but the specter of private solutions... ack! -
@azninthesun tbf things like GPL and FOSS licenses have existed for a long time -
@azninthesun but yeah now i'm thinking that a longer piece about the new private law of Silicon Valley might be good - 7 réponses de plus

@sarahjeong@azninthesun it's a good thing that the interests of big tech companies and the public are never at odds

@antumbral@azninthesun low to nonexistent risk of Google doing something fucked up with their portfolio, but def still a psyduck moment -
@sarahjeong@antumbral@azninthesun Still haven't come out against software patents in general, as Red Hat, Newegg and others have.
