Norway fighting "enshittification" - I love them for this

One of the best things about a good, working democracy is that it protects normal citizens from being exploited by the rich and powerful. I'm delighted to see Norway's "Consumer Council" trying to protect folks from the insidious exploitation of consumers known as "enshittification." The Norwegian Consumer Council hilariously explains the enshittification phenomenon in this video:



They also have a more serious document proposing solutions to the problem here: https://www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/

Here in the US we're less protected from enshittificators because the ruling regime of oligarchs is largely made up of enshittificators and has done its best to dismantle opposing elements of the government like our Consumer Financial Protections Bureau. Therefore, fighting enshittification in the US is more of a grass roots resistance thing, where we have to eek out whatever small victories we can. I'm proud to have finally squirmed free of quintessential enshittificator Photobucket but there are a lot of other enshittificators at large that continue to have an undue influence on my life. For example, whenever I play a YouTube video for my marine ecology class its surrounded and interrupted by a vignette of dumb ads. I pledge to redouble my efforts to fight enshittification however I can.
