Enshittification
Das Internet wird immer schlimmer. Und das ist kein Zufall. Cory Doctorow hat dafür einen Namen: 'Enshittification'. Das ist der Prozess, durch den Plattformen im Netz dominant wurden, weil sie praktische, zuverlässige Dienste anboten und sie dann systematisch verschlechterten. Sobald Menschen von ihnen abhängig waren, optimierten sie sich für Unternehmen, die dort Geschäfte machen wollten. Dann verschlechterten sie die Konditionen auch für die Unternehmen, bis am Ende nur noch die Investoren profitierten.Dieses Buch ist eine Zerlegeanleitung für Big Tech, ein Fahrplan zur Rückeroberung der digitalen Infrastruktur. Es ist eine Diagnose. Und es ist eine Kur. 'Big Tech plündert nicht nur Ihre Daten. Es nimmt Ihnen nicht einfach nur die Privatsphäre. Es richtet etwas weit Schlimmeres an. Sie ahnen es. Sie fühlen es. Doch benennen können Sie es erst, wenn Sie ¿Enshittification¿ gelesen haben.'Yanis Varoufakis
