Riffing on, but not directly in line with npub1e0a6n84krygh2qc3ajptu4fa4ma0qy53acz8smsyhztgxljxkghsureww0 (npub1e0a…eww0)'s question below

Is there any research/writing/publication out there on the use of "democratization" rhetoric to slough off responsibility for systems behavior?

I feel like I've seen this in
- social media moderation
- software teams that want to move on from maintaining (eg) open source projects
- "populist" politics

In general, it feels like socializing maintenance costs while privatizing innovation benefits
