This consolidation of power is a dream come true for the Big Tech platforms, but it’s a nightmare for users. While the megacorporations get more traffic and a whole lot more user data (read: profit), users are left with far fewer community options and a bland, corporate surveillance machine instead of a vibrant public sphere. The internet we all fell in love with is a diverse and colorful place, full of innovation, connection, and unique opportunities for self-expression. That internet—our internet—is worth defending.

    LOL. Settle down mate.

    You can call me names if it makes you feel better.

    I couldn’t care less if fb knows I’m selling toddler clothes.

    I, and everyone else who is not 15, will continue selling my junk on facebook.

      Wao, you actually think that’s all they know and therefore that’s the only data they would share and profit from?

      OK, then I totally understand why you are so complacent about it. It all makes sense now.
