History of technology as hoarding power

samedi 13 mai 2023 à 16:02

The progressive movement needs to reject the imposed myth that technological progress invariably makes people, or society, better off. We have the right to regulate technology for the public good.

When the users decide what features their technology will have, they can exclude the features they know they dislike. But when companies choose the features and impose them on the users, they will impose what benefits them, not what benefits the users. This includes DRM and snooping, as well as other nasty things. We must demand software be free.

However, we need to think carefully about what the public good consists of. Now that politicians want to "protect children (and especially tenagers)" by turning the internet into a platform for repression à la Chinoise, we must insist they do the job in a way that doesn't make us all politically helpless.
