The developed world is increasingly forcing people to use incompetently designed technology. The #digitalTransformation movement is being forced onto people.

Just like we cannot rely on the public sector to solve the climate crisis, we also cannot rely on the public sector to deploy well-designed privacy-respecting inclusive technology. We always need an analog option.

It’s as if humanity is dying off. They don’t want to see you in person so physical addresses are being withheld from contact pages. I now must dig into the privacy policy or ToS to find an address. It’s really a shitshow because a data protection officer or whoever handles privacy requests could be entirely outsourced to someone who has nothing to do with an org.

It boils down to nannying. They don’t even want to enable people to write snail-mail letters -- which is king for escaping enshitification and the digital transformation.
