Ever since the early days of Google excitement (early naughties), everyone missed the point. You don’t need a big corporation with good intentions to save you. They’ll sooner round on you when it suits them simply because they can.
Everyone excitedly using and in turn relying on Gmail and Google maps like they were healing the tech world simply let the vampire into their home. We need sustainable systems and cultures with values and no “too big to fail” monopolistic companies dictating the landscape.
