What Good Is ‘Community’ When Someone Else Makes All the Rules? https://nyti.ms/2qFV0no
Summary: Community implies joint ownership and responsibility in some kind of joint activity eg members of a neighbourhood or family. What happens when that ownership is transferred into private hands (eg Facebook or other tech/social media companies) and manipulated for profit? What does this mean for how we find genuine community and connections in the world that we are operating in?
What needs to change and what might those changes look like? Interesting discussion to dig deeper into.
