Regarding the white house name in Google maps being changed to Epstein island (amazing tho Haha) but it got me thinking. It's such a fucking shame that this huge tech companies benefit so much from community input and support while they actively work to strip our freedom away from us.
Could you imagine if everyone stopped updating information on Google maps and instead updated open street maps instead?

@finner this was the fundamental evil of "Web 2.0". Companies providing a platform for people to share content for free, that the companies then monetized. Of course the platform couldn't be built or maintained for free, but the content was far more valuable than the platform, and yet the creators weren't seeing much if any revenue.
