It still baffles me that liberals successfully planted the term "surveillance capitalism" as a new form of capitalism.Surveillance has always been essential to capitalism, from the factory supervisors controlling workers at the assembly line to the video camera watching over supermarket cashier. If you think that there is a difference between a corporation surveilling its workers and a social media platform surveilling its users you are simply misunderstanding your role on social media.

@malteengeler Did you read Shoshana Zuboffs book on surveillance captialism? She coined the phrase. And she discussed it on some 700 pages. https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/shoshana-zuboff-das-zeitalter-des-ueberwachungskapitalismus-100.html

@kaffeeringe I am very aware of her work. Are you familiar with the many voices that point out how limited her criticism is and how she actually legitimized capitalism in general?https://soundcloud.com/thismachinekillspod/4-zuboff-is-a-psyop

@malteengeler I suppose the term does make sense insofar as surveillance became a or the dominant mode of accumulation in modern contemporary capitalism.
