You do all know that posting politics on #failbook is a pointless circle of nothingness, please stop and do something more useful.
We have a collective Liberal fantasy in there is an idea that #dotcon can be social useful. It’s not what the money (billions) was invested in. They “invested” into a silo/portal for capturing data and capturing users. Letting this “value” free is a liberal delusion in the sense it dues not payback for investment. You’re talking an act of enlighten philanthropy or old-fashioned nationalization to keep the value for the people who created it – the users.
We now have a problem that most of our best alt media producers are children of the #dotcons and have little or no understanding of the #openweb We need to express positive views of value, #linking #4opens etc all very basic stuff and not difficult to do. We need practical open ideas on were to start on this.
