These tech-stacks of exploitation were not really built by accident. They are wired into the business models of every tech company in the space; not a single one advances moral values over their shareholder value.

Political Remix.
Das Bizarre am Silicon Valley ist, dass einige Ideale ganz auf der linken Seite sind und andere ganz auf der rechten. Auf der linken befürworten wir das Piratenpartei-Denken, dass alles frei, also kostenlos sein sollte. Musik etwa. Auf der rechten Seite sagen wir, alles sollte nicht vom Staat, sondern von Unternehmern gemacht werden wie Steve Jobs oder Bill Gates. Und nun haben wir als Ergebnis Multimilliardär-Monopole. Wir haben eine seltsame Beziehung von absolut libertären und absolut sozialistischen Idealen gemixt.
