Cory Doctorow — Pluralistic
About #
Science fiction author, journalist, and digital rights activist (former EFF special advisor). Writes “Pluralistic,” a daily link-aggregation blog combining tech-policy essays with curated commentary, built around his “enshittification” framework for how platforms decay as they extract value from users, business customers, then shareholders in sequence. Covers DRM/anticircumvention, antitrust and monopoly power, copyright and IP overreach, surveillance pricing, and right-to-repair.
