Ces nouveaux tarifs posent question, car ils paraissent disproportionnĂ©s par rapport aux coĂ»ts rĂ©els. Par ailleurs, si Google a fourni gratuitement pendant des annĂ©es Ă des milliers de clients un service qui avait un coĂ»t aussi Ă©levĂ©, il a clairement pratiquĂ© du dumping pour empĂȘcher dâautres acteurs dâĂ©merger. Avec succĂšs. Des initiatives ont vu le jour, notamment grĂące aux donnĂ©es dâOpenstreetmap, comme Mapbox aux Etats-Unis. Mais globalement, lâĂ©cosystĂšme a Ă©tĂ© paralysĂ©.
- Schneier: Censorship in the age of large cloud providers:
In 1993, John Gilmore famously said that "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." That was technically true when he said it but only because the routing structure of the Internet was so distributed. As centralization increases, the Internet loses that robustness, and censorship by governments and companies becomes easier.
- And more Schneier: Data protection laws are shining a needed light on a secretive industry.
- The Inner-platform effect is "the tendency of software architects to create a system so customizable as to become a replica, and often a poor replica, of the software development platform they are using". Via Leah Neukirchen.
