+      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.
