From 7144af5a2ce093fc9f479f92f5cdb9cc60c7920d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Flancian <0@flancia.org> Date: Thu, 9 May 2024 02:31:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] autopushed --- Open Letter to Google.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Open Letter to Google.md b/Open Letter to Google.md index 2f06f3c27..637d9ee2e 100644 --- a/Open Letter to Google.md +++ b/Open Letter to Google.md @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ That's what we are setting out to do, anyway. Join me? :) This letter is meant to contain, in as succinct a way as I could muster, a series of specific proposals to [[Google]] and the community of our [[users]], as a whole and as arbitrary subgroups. Whenever I couldn't expound in full, I would try to include [[links]]. -I am writing down this set of optimistic, some would say [[naive]], **proposals** knowingly in the context of what some call [[late stage capitalism]] and can safely be described as [[digital capitalism]] as it is as of mid [[2024]]. I need to clarify that I know that my chances of **success, defined as effecting meaningful change in the policies of the company**, are low. Yet I still want to try and communicate my recommendations as clearly and as ethically as I can manage to both company and society. Because of this, this letter will actually have to be two letters: its other half for now will be available only to Googlers. +I am writing down this set of optimistic, some would say [[naive]], **proposals** knowingly in the context of what some call [[late stage capitalism]] and can safely be described as [[digital capitalism]] as it is as of mid [[2024]].

Because of this, this letter will actually have to be two letters: its other half for now will be available only to Googlers. My high level intention is the following: to develop, together, a [[commons]] containing a prosocial transparent governance layer for the internet and use it in a daring way to try to advance company, society and civilization. I intend to convince Google that this is the right thing for both people ("users") and company; and I intend to convince you, reader, that we should do this together.
