For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc

The Terror of Total Dasein | Hito Steyerl - DIS MagazineDIS Magazine
https://dismagazine.com/discussion/78352/the-terror-of-total-dasein-hito-steyerl/
