I saw this guy, Johnny Ryan, recently in a European Parliament session on #democratictech together with @robin and others.

Today @johnnyryan publishes a great article in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/09/the-eu-has-a-secret-weapon-to-counter-trumps-economic-bullying-its-time-to-use-it

Here's a thread to document my gradual exiting of anti-democratic tech, sometimes staying there, but inactively, and in other cases by eliminating my profile and data fully and leaving altogether. As I'm part of many networks (like you?), this is generally not something I can do in one day and simply pull the plug; it is nudging my contacts and networks towards the #democratictech, and that often is a slow process. It really is something I'm dedicating time to on a daily basis.

About tech startups wishing to cut bureaucracy andcred tape and aligning with autocratic leaders: that is really NOT helping innovation at all.

Since 2016 we have been working on the Five Pillar framework for commons-based business models. And while it has greatly evolved through practice in commons-collaborative economy programmes and platform coops and #SSE courses, we hadn't published too much about it.

Now here's an introduction with the necessary references: https://freeknowledge.eu/five-pillar-model-commons-business-models

thanks to @femprocomuns, Labcoop & many cooperative commons businesses
