The original e-commerce was closer to the Customer Commons model than to the Big Tech system
- terms and config file live on the customer's workstation
- format of order is set by code running under control of the customer

#COVID19 surfaced disparities, lack of data, politics, and just plain bad outcomes in US healthcare. Post-pandemic, will we continue to overspend $1T on US healthcare?
Of course we will!

I get that permission based marketing is OK but over exercising that permission becomes nauseating to the recipient. I advocate for @CustomerCommons were folk have parity when dealing with business.

Weighings — blogs.harvard.edu/vrm/2018/0… — a shout-out to withings.com and @ecaeca. Let's talk about much better ways to get #GDPR compliance than "consents". Very possible w/friendly @CustomerCommons terms that put companies into compliance with data subjects' std. prefs.

Yes—the only reason for publishers to fix blocker warnings is as part of an anti-data-leakage plan. Worth it to get users out of ABP racket.
