Whenever I'm trying to read a news article or an academic paper and I'm greeted with "you've run out of free articles for the month" or "sign up to read this!" I just....knowledge should be free. Everyone say it with me now: KNOWLEDGE. SHOULD. BE. FREE. #knowledge #accesstoknowledge #paytoread #dystopia #neolibs #commodification

@ton that's an important point, that search is contentious because it governance-by-instance, which is probably the strongest principle underlying #Mastodon governance. and it's the exact opposite of the idea of instance blocking - it benefits from a complete, instead of fractured view. I still think there are good reasons to have search, which boil down to an #AccessToKnowledge argument. Making this another case of the dichotomy between openness and privacy.

@Lambo @SarahLamdan @senficon since you like open textbooks (me too), you might be interested in my new CC0-licensed book "Walled Culture" that discusses #openaccess and #accesstoknowledge in detail (& much else). free ebook versions here: https://walledculture.org/the-book/
