That’s a blatant lie, or more generously, harmfully ignorant perspective. Academics, thinkers, have been warning about private power eroding public for decades. Oh sure SV specifically is new NOW, but they haven’t done anything Walmart didn’t do to little communities decades before, or ATT hasn’t done; co-opt control of public government for private gain. I’m done with this community. It’s a bunch of ostriches who are equivocating their failures as political agents; don’t login. They lose their power. Stop living in the bespoke simulation in your head.
