==intellectual "property" vs. social benefit, #ThanksCapitalism==
Meg posted about this in the non-anti-fascist political group:

* https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete

She says it somehow got closed for comments about a minute after posting, with (as usual for Nextdoor) no notice and no reason given.

We're a bit puzzled because Camille had been protesting earlier about people closing comments on their *own* posts, either temporarily or permanently -- but they don't seem to be heavily into treating people equally over there, so I guess this is unsurprising.

So, yeah, this touches on a lot of political issues, including the social value of for-profit corporations, the social value of "intellectual property" (which, to my mind, is increasingly just a land-grab for the rentier (non-working) class -- see the Immortal Mouse Copyright Act) and the need for some kind of regulation around important work done for the public good such that it doesn't get lost when a company goes out of business.

Since it can't be discussed there right now, let's discuss it here!
