Tech. companies left to their own devices will push technology that benefits them. People (the majority of society) have to take control over society so that we can find the proper balance: technology that makes our lives better/easier/simpler/more enjoyable and that doesn’t infringe on our attention and so on.
I’m already happy with a lot of software that I use that interfaces with the governmnet. The government wants to do less work. I want to do less work. The software ends up being less work than the prior technology was.
Why are you supposed to rely on Facebook for communicating with your local volunteer group? Why isn’t there a viable option (according to network effects)? Nothing says that we need predatory social media companies that sell people’s data in order to operate local volunteer groups. That’s absurd and and a falsehood that Bit Tech simply wants to convince people of.
