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/

Hey fedizens, you wanna watch the Norwegian Consumer Council (a semi-independent state agency) launch an attack on enshittification?

They're holding a lunch seminar in an hour (11:30 UTC **now**) on their fresh report about enshittification and what must be done about it. It's called "Breaking free – Pathways to a fair technological future".

https://www.forbrukerradet.no/siste-nytt/seminar-og-lansering-av-rapport-om-enshittification/

They've got @pluralistic presenting digitally, and luckily for you and me they're open for online attendance. The venue is chock full in physical attendance. You can watch the stream anonymously.

The digital policy director of the NCC, @finnmyrstad is on here, so I look forward to this report and event having some bite to it.

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.
