I think it's an effect of how companies behave vs how people behave.
People have ethics, while companies do not. A company is not a real person but instead a "legal person" that can do things without ethics getting in the way.
For a new, small company there is a chance that the ethics of people working there can shine through and have an effect. For larger companies, as time goes on, no such chance. No ethics.

@malveus tack för tipset, ska kolla den!
@CS1891 åh nej, han igen, vad har han gjort nu då? Bjuder du på en liten sammanfattning för oss som inte lyckats forcera betalväggen?
@dagen tack!
Toppen att ni är med här på mastodon och till och med svarar mig, vad glad jag blir 🙂
@dagen är det inte fullständigt självklart för kristna att alla, verkligen alla, är välkomna till tron?
Stänga ute vissa personer från att döpas? Vad skulle Jesus ha sagt om det?
I just renewed my annual @fsf associate membership and psyched for Libreplanet. #ISupportFreeSoftware

Interesting discussion with @Mer__edith and Camille Francois, "AI and Surveillance Capitalism", available via #PeerTube here: https://digitalcourage.video/w/3UJQ4XPwjWpenWM5iUmmQs
I think the most important aspect they bring up is how increased use of so-called "AI" systems (it's wrong to call such systems "intelligent") leads to really dangerous concentration of power to a small number of huge companies. That development is very dangerous and bad for democracy, it's really the opposite of what we need.
@esse hej, är det alltså du som är Peter Esse som är med och pratar i Bli säker-podden?
Välkommen till mastodon 🙂
@annika thanks, I should give it a chance!
@annika so it's good? do you recommend it?
