1/5 Friends, thanks for so many beautiful notes inspired by seeing my original concept of #SurveillanceCapitalism featured in the film #TheSocialDilemma. As surveillance capitalism disfigures our lives and politics, let’s bring this urgent discussion to our families & communities
2/5 Remember that our social dilemma isn’t caused by a single company like Facebook or one CEO like Zuckerberg. Our social dilemma is that #SurveillanceCapitalism has captured our economy, our technology, and the digital future.
3/5 #SurveillanceCapitalism is a profit-driven economic logic based on STEALING our lives for data, behavioral predictions, and sales. Targeting, tech addiction, manipulation, violent content, fake news, and more are only effects of this greater cause.
4/5 #SurveillanceCapitalism threatens democracy, but only democracy can interrupt and outlaw surveillance capitalism. We’ve blown by “ethics.” Now the fight is about new rights and laws for a democratic digital century. This is the decade when we take back our digital future.
5/5 Watch the #SocialDilemma. Read The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Join me on this historic journey as we awaken the sleeping giant of democracy. Follow me here for events and new writing, including an important upcoming conversation with @NaomiAKlein and @wewatchwatchers.
