Breaking Free.

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide. Together with more than 70 consumer groups and other actors in Europe and the US, we are sending letter to policymakers in the EU/EEA, UK and the US.

It occurred to me that what the US and even UK call capitalism is a lie, ie. their system is not capitalism. IIRC "market forces" and "equal chances" somehow play a central role in the economic definition of it. In reality these forces are distorted by tariffs, subsidies, nepotism, legalized extortion and the general repression of equal chances.

Edit: forgot to mention subsidies
