Doctrow argues that nascent tech unionization (which we're closer to having now than ever before) combined with bipartisan fear (and consequent regulation) either directly or via agencies like the FTC and FCC can help to curb Big Tech's power, and the enshittification that it has wrought.

where did it all go wrong?

Capitalism is where.

It’ll always fight to go there, because least offered most gained is the name of the business.

Sure you can split them up and regulate them, that’ll last for a few years or decades but money is power and they will wield that power to undo it all again, time after time to seek profit.

The only solution is a system that doesn’t value capital.

Continued vigilance is the price of lasting deenshittification

Or just not operating under a capitalist model.

Which has many other benefits as well. Who wants perpetual class war.

No human-led system can fully protect against complacency.
