What disturbs me more than #surveillancecapitalism and the rise of #listeningdevices and 'IoT' with #biometrics is the shocking lack of #corporatemedia critique of it. They're complicit in actively promoting such agenda, misleading the public.
OK, maybe I am reading the wrong sites. Maybe not. Not about politics but tech. Some that I monitor constantly promote #surveillancecapitalism agenda and #listeningdevices

When you carry around a so-called 'phone' you become yet more of a product (of many companies) because you vomit a lot of personal data to these companies every 60 seconds or so. #surveillance #tracking #listeningdevices #surveillancecapitalism
In #surveillancecapitalism the product is the person (data)
The objective is to empty this product's wallet
The clients are those whose pockets get filled at the expense of the product's wallet

Crude? Sure. But true.
#surveillancecapitalism is, to me, this notion that many companies now profit by controlling people's "screen time" (brainwash) while watching every place they go, listening to what they say, what they browse, what they type (keylogging), what they search (think) for wallet control
Far too many sites now have malicious code on them (in every page), sent to the browser to be run. I can't quite stop linking to all these sites, but I think I might start issuing visible warnings each time I link to these. #surveillancecapitalism
