@finnmyrstad @pluralistic norway consumer council do you franchise?

[Gast]

@finnmyrstad @pluralistic amazing! So great

[Gast]

@finnmyrstad @pluralistic I agree but mostly because I make and manage myself the digital services I use, and I have less and less time for them.

Commercial ones were bad from the beginning, that's not something new. The only difference is there is more awarness this days, educated with some local regulations.

Has anyone else noticed how satire in Nordic countries is always a masterclass in Satire? I'm a fan of Norsemen, and this video fits right in. But I'm sad about enshittification

[Gast]

@finnmyrstad @pluralistic It was a good presentation from the Forbrukerrådet.

Norway is part of the European Economic Area and has access through this organisation to the EU Single Market. Most of the EU directives are implemented into Norwegian law (eventually).

The presentation, interview with Cory Doctorow and the panel discussion touched on what Norway can do as a small nation but also within the framework of the current data protection regulatory system that the EU provides.

@torstentorsten Remember monarchy?

Removing the right of villagers to hunt in the nearby forest? Enshittification. Just slower.

Turning former yeomen (free farmers) into serfs on their formerly self-owned land? Enshittification.

You don’t need capitalism to enshittify. You just need power over others.

@iquitsmoking @finnmyrstad @pluralistic Oh no worries. They'll start to charge you a monthly fee for it when you're more dependent.

@torstentorsten @finnmyrstad @pluralistic
The remit of the Forbrukerråd is to help Norwegian consumers with problems they experience when purchasing/leasing goods and services from companies.

Their remit does not extend to recommending one or another type of economic system.

With this video the Forbrukerråd has given (Norwegian) consumers a word to hang their frustrations on when they encounter yet another example of #enshittification in their digital lives.

Which is the point of this video.
