But honestly, even well before that.
When did Doctorow coin enshittification?
When did Zuck call his users stupid fucks?
When did Amazon start comingling counterfeits with originals?
When did Google buy DoubleClick?
When did Google start reading your Gmail?
When did Boeing start skimping on safety?
This is a decades long trend. Don't be giving Trump credit he doesn't deserve, otherwise the lessons of history will not be learned. Blaming Trump is yet another easy answer that allows for all of the other things to be swept under the rug.
Yes, I see your point, but for me it gets a new dimension when it is happening on the government level.
Yes, a company can fuck you up but you can find a new provider. But if the government of the country can control allmost all the providers prohibits them to sell their services to you, that is more serious.
Yeah but as a European those things are livable with FB/Google/Amazon/Boeing all provided decent service if annoying at times.
But siding with Russia invading Europe is a different category.
