The Norwegian Consumer Council has released a report on #enshittification today, which can be found at https://www.forbrukerradet.no/news-in-english/digital-products-and-services-are-getting-worse-but-the-trend-can-be-reversed/
They are also hosting a seminar starting at 11:30 - mostly in Norwegian, but @pluralistic is due to speak at noon: https://vimeo.com/event/5738008
The consumer council has done some great work previously regarding #consumerRights and #tech. For instance led their report on #darkpatterns to a record fine of 2.5 billion dollars to #amazon: https://www.forbrukerradet.no/news-in-english/record-fine-for-amazon-following-a-report-by-the-norwegian-consumer-council/

Filing this under "Capitalists do capitalism and they do not care about anything beyond profit and growth."
They don't care about the climate, your creativity, your privacy, your humanity, your rights, equality, etc. It's all marketing and they'll drop it the second it benefits their profit.
Begin your move to #FreeSoftware #FOSS. Don't feed their growth machine.
