He says his "techno-feudalism" is displacing capitalism because the fat controllers of the tech world get their labour for nothing.

The fact that people participate in global location networks, rely on other parties for their security and so on, is contingent; it might change (I'm ever the optimist).

It's perfectly possible to simply not participate in techno-serfdom. Unless you're professionally dependent on TwitFace.

How do you keep yourself relevant if your competitors are using it?

I'm "relevant" to me; if I'm relevant to others, that's cool, but not a big deal. I don't have "competitors".

This "relevant" and "competitors" business seems to be about email marketing. There is no entitlement to use other people's mailservers and networks for your own private purposes.

This thread sounds like something from NANAE, around 2000AD.

I was talking about companies, not individuals. But yeah, anyway, I agree with you.
