@mayel don't give people tools, give them tools to make tools and let them run and do their own thing in freedom

We have a serious problem with digital being a super elitist affair that prevents the vast majority of people from participating in this new type of economy

Just for kicks, which piece of software, of any period, domain or origin does actually enable a *regular* person to create a new service that is not already "preprogrammed"?

It has become acceptable to bash facebook's adverse impact on democracy.

But there is an elephant in the room: the impact of social media on the entire economy. Facebook's algorithms control the fate of millions of micro-entrepreneurs and SME's. If you don't show up on Google's first page you don't exist. Linkedin knows more about corporate structures than corporates themselves.

We don't live anymore on "market based democracies", but platform driven digital oligarchies.
