Why Surveillance Capitalism & Digital Slavery are Here and What You Can Do About it

Physically you are free.
Digitally you are not.

Is the most interesting thing I have written in a very long time.
But it’ s also the most terrifying.

We are all Digital slaves.
You.
Me.
Your Parents.
Children if you have them.

Privacy is the biggest challenge we face today, even more so in the future. It’s so difficult because the problem is not physically apparent. How can something be true that we don’t feel or see, nor does it require us to expend any effort or energy? Simply put, other people or corporations owning any part of our digital identity leads to exploitation of our privacy and attention.

We don’t own our virtual identities, other things or people do.
We don’t profit from our personal data, other things or people do.

We are subjugated, exploited and put to work by Multi-Billion dollar enterprises who profit from our participation, attention, and privacy.

Does that sound fair to you?
