Control or Freedom

Who can control us humans? The companies, Klaus Schwab (Leader World Economic Forum) the state or should we humans decide our fate ourselves? For more freedom and independence for all living people and for a real democracy, I am not a sham democracy (Noam Chomsky). Citizens' parliaments and tax justice can guarantee peace and freedom and justice, everything else is just the dictatorship of a few over the many

If I had my way all internet platforms would have to be licensed by the government and if they contravened the licence rules in any way I would have them shut down. Lets face it non of the platforms are a priority to live your life and for most of us life would be much happier without them.

I would very much plea for openness, open debates, so we can have real discussions and real science taking place. I am disgraced about what fear mongering is happening in the entire world these days... this has nothing to do with the truth or striving for the truth.

If you want to reduce the power of Facebook, Google, and all the other companies that live on clickbait and ad dollars, which is at the root of this horrendous trend of fake news and misinformation spreading like wildfire, then you need to fight for laws that dictate that at least x% of revenue must come from subscription fees. In other words, force Facebook at Co to adopt a paid service / subscription business model, not a free but paid by ads model. That would be the game changer, everything else is just cosmetics.

Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, etc. All have horrid business practices. Exposing their algorithms will only show us what we already know: irresponsible data mining, targeted advertising, selling data...

Reading from email the description behind this petition, I consider it entirely is useless. I don't see the reason why algorithms need to be revealed in first place. To create your own social media better than Facebook? What stops you to do it now? To stop manipulation and information filtering? How about improving education within the country first? This petition has no positive means for humanity and is a waste of time and resources. Stop wasting your and other times.
