- Our devices and services gather most of the data that the NSA mines for its
-surveillance project. We pay for these devices and the services they connect
-to, and then we painstakingly perform the data-entry tasks associated with
-logging facts about our lives, opinions, and preferences.

- Thanks to Big Tech, Surveillance capitalism is everywhere. This is not
-because it is really good at manipulating our behaviour, or the rogue abuse
-of corporate power. It is the result of unchecked monopolism and the
-abusive behavior it abets. It is the system working as intended and
-expected. Cory Doctorow has written an extended critique of Shoshana
-Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at
-the New Frontier of Power, with a non-magical analysis of the problem
-leading to a different proposal for a solution.
