What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I'm not going to deal with this, unsubscribing. I recommend everyone else to do the same, we can't let them get away with this. You can instead donate to an actually good news source, such as ProPublica. And nyt has a bunch of controversies, listed here. I can't support this with a clear conscience.

Ok so because two incidents of the hundreds of accounts are not true means that all of the claims are untrue? The UN special envoy mentions substantially more than two.

Podcasts are trash resources for things like this as too many are not actually run by real experts on the subject at hand. The three you list are no exception.

You are engaging in rape denialism because you don’t like Israel or Palestine and that’s messed up. The report I link documents SA in both nations in this war.
