How Google decided to enshittify search

lundi 29 avril 2024 à 10:44

Enshittification, and the detailed story of how Google decided to enshittify search.

It should be clear that making users depend on nonfree software is a considerable part of what makes a company "too big to care". So this is one more reason why we need to reject nonfree software.

The article makes a vague comment using the incoherent term "IP laws". Those laws have very little in common, so it is a mistake to generalize about them by using that term; I carefully never use it, because anything that is meaningful to say is a matter of one particular law, or perhaps the subtle interaction of more than one of them. The article gives no details, so I have no idea what actual events that vague comment refers to.
