This is something I have been thinking a lot about for a while. The benefits of personalization versus this risks of undue influences. I don’t think it is a fair trade off and that consumers are not really empowered to choose. It’s not practical to audit your countless interactions with the data surveillance capitalists. And yes, I believe that this phenomenon is a threat to society because of the way it divides us.
Fair points ..... So maybe there's an opportunity for another intermediary firm that helps you to audit your interactions? Or maybe we don't need to be on so many platforms? Or maybe something else.
What I'm trying to avoid is the sense that we are powerless to do anything at all. It is not easy, but we still have a choice.
