"Many writers genuinely seeking to build independent media careers have become unwitting participants in a system that undermines the very independence they’re pursuing. They’re building audiences on borrowed land, subject to algorithmic whims and platform policies they cannot directly influence, while helping to subsidize the infrastructure that promotes their ideological opponents."

"Yes, users have technically consented. But it’s hardly informed consent when nobody realizes what, exactly, they’re consenting to — and in its actions, the platform reveals what it hopes to become."

This quote made me think of @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk, who is very much the reason I apply 'it's not meaningful consent if you don't know what you're consenting to or how to opt out' to tech as well as sex.
