I’m looking for 3rd parties who watch and report on developments in these large “world-shaping” corporations. Like a watchdog or a canary when they get into lawsuits or get caught doing bad things. Investigative reporting whether IRL or thorough internet documentarian style is ideal.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how google’s algorithm changes have contributed to the web becoming the shit show it is now and what the alternatives could be. I do want to make sure I have a clear understanding of as much of the history as I can.
I tried searching “who watches google” and obviously just got advertised pages of Android Wear spy bracelets.
Is there a good old-fashioned directory page (or Community) for these anti-Web 2.0 resources?
Your help is appreciated!
https://themarkup.org/ maybe? At least that is what they claim to be doing.
This looks really interesting. I try to get stories from varied sources, but don’t particularly want it “curated” for me. I’m going to add this to my rotation.
They have a Mastodon account, which is why I know about them, you might want to follow that.
