In some other cases, it's market discipline… But most of the important areas of the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/digitalsphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digitalsphere</span></a> have stopped being open, competitive markets over a decade ago so that the market no longer has a credible disciplining function to enforce <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/standards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>standards</span></a>.

If you have it, you can meaningfully steer both, if you don't, you can't. I am not claiming that discussing these topics today isn't useful, it can be, but hoping that they will have transformative impact without access to structural power is wishful thinking. </p><p>The <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/urgency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urgency</span></a> created by the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/technoauthoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technoauthoritarian</span></a> alignment between <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> and the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Trumpregime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trumpregime</span></a> is the driving priority: first, reclaim structural power.
