hopefully more leftists/progressives will wake up about how trusting these companies with "censorship" and having closed source proprietary tech/platforms so entangled in our lives is a bad thing. Most in my experience just complain about how we need to tax them without really thinking about how we can disentangle them from our lives. The past 20 years have been this weird bubble where the largest creators of capital (silicon valley) were not explicitly sided with the auth right wing. People have gotten too use to this especially with personal data and just expecting the state to save them.
I like to think this will cause open source solutions and federated ecosystems to become more popular. Maybe i'm a doomer but we will just get more tiktoks about trump is bad and "late stage capitalism". People I think just will never sacrifice convenience in life, its why authoritarianism seems to always win.
