I mean this percentage-wise, vs the technology etc.
but can companies just flee to another juristiction where this law doesn't apply?
so there should be some law that graduate the ownership
ofc. small startups shouldn't be owned by users right away
but at least it's possible to reverse engineer this - e.g. for compatibility with Libreoffice/Openoffice
though one can argue that the text-file format lock-in makes users valueable
it's primarily a tool for individuals
e.g.: Microsoft Word doesn't gain its primary value from users
how is this different from other types of technology?
including everything the "fediverse" does today
and let users own their own data, so they can move it if they want
so maybe the law should be: open up the platform
which would lead to ownership possibly going back to company
they would open it up
but if users got ownership over platform
which means that ownership of platform wouldn't need to change
then the data is not owned/bound to the platform
and the platforms got interoperable (which Yanis also mentions)
otoh. if the users got control over their own data on these platforms
my argument: this should mean that the users should begin owning the platform, the more users there are
.. so the more users there is, the more the value is the users
social media platforms gain their value primarily from their users
I then got reminded of some thoughts I had a bunch of years ago, by what Yanis said about "socialization of platforms"
.. where the discussion and analysis was pretty general about social media platforms too
I just saw this DIEM25 discussion on Elon Musks and Twitter: https://youtu.be/iom7DeSkZR8
