Good to see somebody building on the foundation laid a few (politically) silent years ago with the publication and global speaking tour (see U. of Tube for her lectures, dialogues & panel Q&A's at Public Forums) of Shoshana Zuboff upon publication of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power.”
(Now in trade paperback. Thorough documentation, no specialized knowledge beyond common sense need be applied to flowing narrative that well integrates much research, thought and academic vetting of what is usually left off of the Business News that dominates Pay2Play US broadcast system, the main source of most thoughts & views of the world per the longest of longitudinal studies).

https://democracynow.org - Corporations have created a new kind of marketplace out of our private human experiences. That is the conclusion of an explosive new book that argues big tech platforms like Facebook and Google are elephant poachers, and our personal data is ivory tusks. Author Shoshana Zuboff writes in “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power”: “At its core, surveillance capitalism is parasitic and self-referential. It revives Karl Marx’s old image of capitalism as a vampire that feeds on labor, but with an unexpected turn. Instead of labor, surveillance capitalism feeds on every aspect of every human’s experience.”

The critiques that have merit will outlast and permeate like grassroots our Pay2Play media taboos and the corporate-captured gatekeepers of what is often called the Public Interest. We the public should be deciding that, Jack!
I suppose this case does not address the big problem I have with social media—that it’s users are the product exploited.
