This community collects stories, cases and situations where people are forced into digital colonialism via walled-garden to carry out a public transaction or essential task of some kind. As governments impose a digital transformation policy with no analog refuge, people are forced into becoming serfs in a technofeudal system that is subservient to lords (Microsoft, Cloudflare, Google, etc).

Well-known walled gardens include (but are not limited to):

Cloudflare
Microsoft LinkedIn
Microsoft Github¹
Facebook
Twitter
Paypal
Google
Amazon
iOS

(note I do not say X or Meta above because I do not recognize or promote obnoxious and detrimental trademarks)

¹It’s somewhat unlikely that a gov would impose Github, but it is listed as an example because some govs do have git services. E.g. the EU has a public-facing self-hosted git instance.
