I think we have read a different blog post. There was something about Google's antitrust thingy and that all big tech should be regulated but no straight solution were given.

Again, I agree withe the thesis but honestly, anyone who's focused on privacy would tell you the same but in way fewer words.

BTW, similar issue was raised in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Pretty good read.

You think Cory Doctorow isn't focused on privacy?

Corey Doctorow literally wrote the books on privacy. He coined the term Enshitification. He's even been portrayed as a guest character in a couple of XKCD comics. Generally he's someone to listen to on anything security, privacy or tech policy related

There was 2,177 words in the "how to fix" portion of the blog post, you dumbass.
