Writer Cory Doctorow returns to Democracy Now!_to discuss his new book "Enshittification," which explores the term he coined in 2022 to describe how online platforms like Facebook degrade over time as companies seek to maximize profit at the expense of their users, and it has since become shorthand for describing a pervasive sense of dropping standards across various aspects of modern life.
