For most people. messaging services are just another convenience, like phones or tap water. They don't think about it. You don't think about it either, at least I don't remember you ever writing about moving to the woods and drilling your own water well because you don't trust your municipal water company or are afraid of fluoride (you should be btw).

Digital rights are important, but so are many other things, and most humans have only so much brain capacity. It's just outside of their areas of interest.

Our entire water system is fully democratized and our regional water boards have their own elections.

I'm not joking but we actually have 4 types of political elections in the Netherlands and they are: national, provincial, municipal and water board.

I don't trust the tap water whenever I'm abroad so I don't drink it there tho.

I firmly believe that if a government can keep secrets, there is no real democracy.

And if tech companies stopped having control over social media with their recommendation algorithms the current culture war would just simply go away. You know, because people might actually just be able to get along if they are not getting gaslit by the constant stream of ragebait cherrypicked bullshit into their doom rectangle 24 hours a day.

And currently almost all of the world's biggest corporations are tech companies. The only real power tech companies have over us is a monopoly enforced by copyright and patent law. As soon as we take this away from them they will be out of business within months, because now we can just take their monopoly away and run it ourselves, decentralized.

And if we actually shared innovations (like software code!) there would be little reason for countries to start doing protectionism, which in turn reduces international conflicts, promotes globalization and that reduces the chances of all out war.

Just simply name any current political issue and I can probably explain to you why it is caused by proprietary software.
