Trans-national corporations are destroying our entire biosphere and will make all species extinct in the pursuit of limitless profits on a finite planet.
Sharmini Peries is kinda hot.
Hear "free flow of data" and think "free flow of capital" …
Ownership in Capitalism ensures that FAANG acts in its own interest. This is why a prominent feature of Marxian thought deals with the elimination of the concept of private property. Trans-National Digital Capital will always have the upper hand over developing Nations in a World Village based upon private property rights. There is no mechanism in Capitalism for regulation or coordination for the greater good but Climate Chaos changes everything. Capital guidance is mandatory to prevent extinction; this should be perfectly clear to everyone but we seem to be SL (slow learners).
Private ownership of corporations needs to be banned immediately. As soon as all economic transactions become digital only,the entire planet's population will be thoroughly enslaved. In short,the very rich are going for complete and absolute ownership of the entire world,including owning all people.
Data is the new big oil. The elites were never wedded to oil per se, it's just a control mechanism. They are moving on…data is the new power.
This is like the Trans-Pacific Partnership for tech and data.
the internet of things includes deadly microwaves …..5G is unhealthy to living organisms. Enjoy the age of DATA

Oh Boy, Electronic Colonialism! What an absolutely wonderful idea! It's an important moral step that's been too long in coming.
The World Trade Organization is an unelected group that represents corporations; they are NOT the friends of democratic government. If people are to avoid a new feudal society, they need to make sure that the WTO goes away. At any price.
Thanks, TRNN.
Orwell's idea for 'Big Brother' came from Corporate advertising billboards…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(Nineteen_Eighty-Four)
Orwell got the idea for the name of Big Brother from advertising billboards for educational correspondence courses from a company called Bennett's during World War II. The original posters showed J. M. Bennett himself, a kindly-looking old man offering guidance and support to would-be students with the phrase "Let me be attached." According to Burgess, after Bennett's death, his son took over the company and the posters were replaced with pictures of the son (who looked imposing and stern in contrast to his father's kindly demeanor) with the text "Let me be your big brother".
Ecommerce is cancer, big corp should stay out the public domain that is popular made by the publick! It is a work of the public that is being taken over by big corp. Therefor I say they need to either be honest or fall for the public!
