Unionize tech and then it can happen.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all

Well, yeah, if tech workers unionized, maybe they'd have some leverage. Let's hope they get to that before the next absurd move from big tech? Fingers crossed, 143rd time's the charm.
