Social media challenge state powers but the Better can still prevail on the Web

Generating revenue when each of the potential billion clicks could generate at least $1 in advertising revenue is not so difficult. The result is that unaccoutable actors like Meta (formerly Facebook) generate enotmous wealth and the  assocaited power to challenge increasingly anxious mid-sized economies like Canada's,. For anybody to pose this as a choice between "meta" and the availability of news about Canada plays in to the ambitions of entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg (who never outgrew his bigger is better adolescence).That good things can and do happpen on Facebook should remind us that progressive values can domesticate the Web just as well as bad actors. After all, that was the original vision of World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee.Time for progressive actors to take back the Web as nature's instrument for acatching bothersome insects.              Check this link for late World Widw Web news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay7GSLX9tHM
