I'm not sure how you can read the opening paragraphs of the manifesto and come to that conclusion:

> Today the Web and Internet is owned and controlled by large for profit corporations and a few governments1. Corporate ownership combined with government policies has left us as tenant and product. It has given us a surveillance economy and enshittification

> What if I do not wish to be tenant and product?

> What can I do to change the equation?

> Those two questions lead me to a bigger question.

> What happens when ownership and control of hardware and software shifts from the domain of corporations to a world where a significant percentage are owned by individual people and cooperatives?
