This is grossly misleading reporting.

The deaths were caused by a stampede. Very small number of people were fired on after approaching a military checkpoint and after warning fires.

Still a tragedy, but nothing like what the title makes it out to be.

To save you a click, this is about union members voting for general strike in Quebec over wages.

Almost like it is not a for-profit company, and the investors interests are not a priority...

This is the guy who went on record claiming that it is somehow NATO's fault for Putin's Russia invading Ukraine. Do not trust him with anything related to politics, he is out of his mind.

Here's an AI bot's summary:

Cory Doctorow gave a talk about the concept of "ensh*ttification" - how internet platforms start out good, then abuse users to benefit businesses, then abuse businesses to benefit themselves, until they die.

He argues today's big tech firms like Facebook and Google have undergone ensh*ttification, withdrawing value from users and business partners to benefit shareholders.

Doctorow says ensh*ttification happens due to lack of competition, companies' ability to "twiddle the knobs" with no transparency, and laws that criminalize modifying platforms.

He proposes halting consolidation, limiting companies' twiddling abilities, and restoring the right to modify platforms through "adversarial interoperability."

This will help shift control of technology from giant companies to small ones, co-ops, nonprofits and user communities.

Tactics include blocking mergers, mandating open APIs, government procurement rules favoring interoperability, and rolling back laws against modifying platforms.

The goal is a "new good internet" that succeeds the old open internet and avoids the pitfalls of today's walled gardens. Doctorow urges spreading these ideas to seize opportunities in future crises.
