@michaelchampion @robin @cdub @danbri It leaves us to the insight that the more networking effects we have, the faster the economic concentration (and disaster, see Elon) Economic concentration is known to obstruct the "controlled" capitalistic system. This is why we have competition authorities. But those are not fit for purpose, have rules from the sixties and are defunct for geopolitical reasons. The issue is systemic and IMHO can't be solved by tech design.

@robin @cdub @danbri 5. In a better world, there is a collaboration between open bodies like W3C/IETF/etc and governments to identify problems in technical platforms, build consensus solutions, and legally constrain the powerful from imposing their own solutions. From my long collaboration with @cdub as a colleague and coop-etitor I think that's more or less what he's trying to do at Google and W3C. Making that harder for him and other ethical Googlers does not help

@michaelchampion @cdub @danbri I didn't say that an elected body would have accepted it or not, just that if the people who made the decision to deploy AMP had been elected we'd have fired their asses. And your take on AMP is too generous. A group of us actually went to G with a proposal that would have kept AMP alive and helpful but removed the parts that only help G. They only sent lawyers to shut us down. There's zero room left to believe in good faith on that one, I'm sorry to report.
