@madsenandersc @marymessall @tchambers @anildash I know, I live in Europe. But I still feel they do too little and there are still too many politicians in Europe proposing laws that would damage the open web to feel comfortable.

@marymessall @tchambers @anildash I disagree. We are in this situation only because the tech companies have been able to ignore the laws and basically do everything they wish. At every single step, politics and law enforcement could have made them pay for their well-documented crimes, but they chose not to. Even after judging that these companies have committed wrongdoing, the consequences have been so low that it didn't matter. Politics, law and society can create an environment that would protect the free sharing of resources. It has been done for libraries, for example, and there are laws that were supposed to protect the open web.

This situation is only inevitable if we believe widespread corruption is inevitable. It is not a coincidence that this is happening in a period where fascism is coming back.
