i think the open source stuff needs like a change in fundamental values to consider emergent harm

that's the real problem and it's sensible for an individual to not care about protecting their privacy because it really doesn't matter

open sourcers are right to see the consequences that arise and have intuitive objections to centralisation, and the direction they act helps to solve the problems

it's usually tragedy of the commons and/or exploitation in a bigger way than they identify though, which isn't modelled well by the sum of individual 'digital rights' violations

that was always the weakest part of the pitch, at this point it's almost like a charity grift slogan

and i think more than 'digital rights' will be necessary to solve the problems the internet faces
