Open Source is not that automatic solution to all problems as some people make it sound. A lot of software used by tech oligarchs is open source. Netflix is in great parts open source. Open source software doesn’t give much power back to the people if it runs on server farms and communicates on data cables owned by billionaires. Verifiability is also in question for server code. If you want to take power away from tech oligarchs, you have to start at the physical infrastructure, not the virtual software.

That’s why I believe its worthwhile to put out reminders for other sides, too. ;-)
We, of course, both agree about the overall issue and I’m the last person who would be against open source software.
