Agree. It's about machine-mediated 'socializing', not about who runs it.
As I mentioned earlier, open sourcing/democratizing the dystopia is not solving anything - it might even make it worse.

Thanks for sharing this. None of the issues described in this write-up can be blamed on the corporate ownership of the currently popular social media.
