    Shit like this will continue to happen until governments start enforcing interoperable open standards and resume enforcing antitrust laws, which were, in practice, suspended for a long time, for whatever reason.

      Which will never happen if we keep ending up with republicans every 4 years. Sad state of affairs, but technology will remain corporate as long as people are awful putting their money where their mouth is (or time, in the case of social web)
