@cinebox@masto.hackers.town Given one of our council members is a lobbyist for Google, I do not see there being a route to "pressure" them, and unfortunately "one dude with a blog" does not seem like an adequate defense against these issues. We had one dude with a blog *before* these institutions emerged, one dude with a blog is *where* they came from! (What I mean is: the Internet started, mostly, as professors' websites, and those trying to navigate that better gave us the Web, and so I don't see why doing that again wouldn't just provide more advanced technology for the same problems. This is, after all, what I say has happened with the Fediverse, and while everyone gets mad about me saying it, no one can really disagree. :\)
