Antisyndication

/ˌæntiˌsɪndɪˈkeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

Opposition to the syndication of content, labor, or control; the practice of resisting syndicalism.

Etymology

From anti- + syndication (from syndicate, meaning to combine or control through a central authority). This term is less common than antisyndicalism, emerging in similar periods of labor history.

Kelly Says

Antisyndication today appears online: platforms fight content syndication to keep users on their sites, but ironically, the first 'syndicates' were publishers working together to share content—showing how the same tool can be viewed as liberating or controlling depending on who wields it.
