      The point about the big companies simply being able to buy influence in places where civic infrastructure was previously being run on FOSS is a fair observation from the last ten or so years. Since their business model is spying plus free as in beer SaaS, rather than selling software or software maintenance, then the local FOSS systems have a hard time resisting that.
