About halfway through "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism". It has been extremely interesting so far, but I can't stop thinking about how we are supposed to convey this message in an approachable manner for others without coming across as alarmist conspiracy theorists. Not everyone is going to read a 500+ page book on the topic, how do we inform them without bring written off in fear? #surveillancecapitalism

@Krill We don't. When you use an online service you can pay with money, effort or data. If masses prefer paying with data that's on them.

@person surveillance extends beyond the online, though. Attempting to isolate ourselves away from it is a losing battle. By ignoring it, we are resigning ourselves to the mindset of inevitability that surveillance capitalist firms have thrived in.

@amerika Zuboff is pretty damn clear that surveillance capitalism's rise was made possible in part by neoliberal policies. I think you're confused about what leftism is

@Krill leftism = egalitarianism, including subsets like democracy, socialism, diversity, sexual liberation, etc
