Yep. It's reform-washing. The problem is the symbiotic corruption of government, media, and extremely rich individuals who are acceleratingly-enriched by ownership of corporations as cash extraction leviathans. The problem Aaron Swartz identified to Larry Lessig cannot be "solved" by half-measures when powerful people can buy their ways out-of, around, and through any attempts to impose limits on their effectively-absolute power. The billionaires' money is the source of their power, as are the ruthless, callous, greed of the individuals themselves. If you want a just civilization, end the billionaires, one way or another because we're only facing a conflagration of several existential crises and billions of people put-upon with unnatural stress and misery.

I’m curious how would this work for products like apple? One would argue it’s only as good as it is because they control their platform fully.
