Your (proverbial) mom was once restricted to the AOL ecosystem. And today transport data is being restricted by gatekeepers. And these two things are related.

is there a link?
Sorry for being a Lemmy novice. I added the link to the post, but when I added the thumbnail image, it replaced the link to the article with a link to the thumbnail. Is that the way it works?

@trufiassociation @phr Leading with sexism and ageism isn’t a great way to promote your product or point of view.
Thanks for the feedback. We agree that it’s important to be mindful of ageism and sexism. The reference to a “mom” in 1990 was meant to evoke a relatable persona — someone readers could easily picture navigating a closed ecosystem in 1990. Later in the post, we also mention how “your mom” could very well be an empowered advocate for openness — emphasizing that anyone, regardless of their starting point, can embrace and champion digital progress.
If there’s specific language in the post that you feel could be improved, we’d be happy to hear your thoughts.
