[[New UK tech regulator to limit power of Google and Facebook]].
The last thing we need is more tech growth.
The framing of this is all wrong. It’s all about innovation, competition, consumer choice, growth. It should be about [[liberation]], [[user freedom]], [[agency]] and [[sustainability]].
e.g. Fediverse, Indieweb, p2p. They are mixtures of both horizontal and vertical.
Even between [[planned economy]] versus [[free market economy]], at least insofar as encapsulated by [[Soviet Union]] and [[United States]] during the cold war, I feel like there must be a middle-way that’s about [[prosperity without growth]], somewhere between planned and free market, neither vertical nor horizontal.
[[The Entropy of Capitalism]] might be a good one for this. System theory and self-organisation.
