Have you watched Cory Doctorow @pluralistic speech about:

A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (a speech at 39C3 in Hamburg on Dec 28, 2025)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39jsstmmUUs

It's about the high risk of being dependent on US #techology & why other countries should get rid of the anti-circumvention laws (that they were forced to implement with threat of #tariffs) that prop up US #tech companies.

Worth watching.

it’s not FEES, it’s privatized taxes. it’s not DRM, it’s racketeering protection.

more importantly: he shows how USA used the threat of tariffs to protect the oligarchy’s rackets. Trump’s #tariffs unilaterally break those agreements.

Trump is gifting the world with the codes to blowup the USA oligarchy. use them.
