This question reminded me of James Burke’s documentaries.

Artificial scarcity is a crime against humanity that should be banned. Every computer should have everything digital ever made.

Trade secrets, intellectual property, and forbidding others from producing an invention (=patents), should be illegal, not built into law. All information should be public (anonymised).

It would replace copyright and patents. It could be made with the help of computers and crowd intelligence, like Wikipedia and everything open source.

Meta’s business model is collecting, using and selling data from users of “free” services. Obviously they didn’t buy WhatsApp for charity.

Meta has been caught lying before. Even if there’s no backdoor right now, the next closed-source update can add one and take all message history. Would you trust Zuck?
