The goose and the common
summary
Big Tech is hoovering user data and training AI on scraped content, and regulators plus grassroots action actually change behaviour: Open Web Advocacy pushes for Progressive Web Apps, lobbies the CMA and EU so Apple backs down from killing home‑screen PWAs. Details: Android apps average 11 MB versus PWAs at ~700–900 KB, Google pays Apple ~$20 billion a year, life expectancy cited as 29 in early industrial cities, 538 signatories (500 orgs), and tools like WebKit browser ban workarounds and capacitor.js get businesses running — and it moves markets.
