Yeah… sure. I think I could say I agree. In the best case scenario we have both civil society organized for changes we want to see in the world and govs committed to a better future (instead of committing to profits of few TMs). This is kind of a synergy: if the people don’t urges for something, govs won’t act by good faith. The opposite is true: sometimes technical and scientific positions of some politicians can change how general population sees an issue.

The fact is: Isolated personal choices won’t change the political and economical status. We have to be strong and well articulated as organized society to push politicians for change. Join small and big groups together for some causes. And that’s not easy. Usually it requires a strong leadership to “call for action”.

And what government, what regulation, is actually in the mood to face these companies? Call me a pessimist, but this COP in Belém will be another fiasco. Zero commitment to the future. Capitalism has more urgent and important matters.

That’s amazing! Phone are, IMO, the toughest frontier of privacy and autonomy. Industries have us well locked in their ecosystems
