Det er velkendt for de fleste, at forretningsmodellen bag de sociale medier er databetaling. Du får en gratis service, men betaler med dine data, og du er dermed produktet. De færreste tænker måske på, staten har overtaget samme logik i digitaliseringen af velfærdssamfundet. Her er vi også 100 procent transparente, ligesom vi heller ikke har kontrol med brugen af vores egne data.Lige nu indføres nye EU regler, som burde beskytte borgeren bedre, men spørgsmålet er om fremgangsmåden spænder ben for privatlivet? Og samtidig ønsker den danske regering at udvide PETs beføjelser til at overvåge alle danske borgere. Privatlivet i det digitale samfund er med andre ord stærkt presset i 2025.Den amerikanske forsker Shoshana Zuboff har i sit værk “Overvågningskapitalismens Tidsalder” beskrevet, hvordan tech-virksomheder udnytter big data til at forudsige og ændre menneskers adfærd. Datahøst fra smartphones, kameraer og online aktiviteter bruges til at skabe detaljerede profiler af individer. Zuboff introducerer begrebet “Big Other” om et system, der manipulerer menneskers valg for profit. Denne praksis truer ifølge Zuboff demokratiets værdier og individets autonomi.Ifølge Zuboff kan overvågningskapitalismens principper overføres til politik gennem adfærdspsykologien, der hævder, at al menneskelig adfærd er et produkt af målbare eksterne stimuli, som forstås og kontrolleres gennem studier og eksperimenter. Bedre kendt som behaviorisme og populariseret af adfærdspsykologen B.F. Skinner. Sociale medieplatforme er den seneste udgave af det behavioristiske ønske om at styre samfundet gennem videnskabelig observation af sindet via et komplet informationsloop, der skal teste produkter på mennesker, få feedback og redesigne modellen. Man antager, at matematiske datalove gælder for mennesker såvel som for maskiner. Spørgsmålet er, om samme tankesæt har gjort sit indtog i digitaliseringen af den demokratiske velfærdsstat?Gæst er Stephan Engberg fra Priway, der arbejder med beskyttelse af borgerens privatliv.Link: Priway  priway.eu

Is the journal publishing process and the “game” around journal publishing forcing us to give up on big ideas and instead work on small ideas about trivial matters? We are not so sure. We think that science needs many different types of academics, and they have all sorts of different ideas, big and small, and we need outlets for expressing every single one of them. But outlets, like ideas, are not all equal. Journals are an incremental genre leaning toward rigor and thus risk type-2 errors. Book are an expansive genre learning towards big ideas – and thus risk type-1 errors. So the question is rather what type of scholar you are and whether you can handle the very different processes and mechanisms – those associated with big ideas that take a long time to develop, versus the production of smaller ideas and insights that incrementally push our knowledge forward.

Tune in now for an inspiring exploration of concepts such as the social uncontract, technological sublime, and synoptic dilemma.

Siamo cresciuti con l'idea che le nuove tecnologie prendano il sopravvento nella vita quotidiana, temiamo che possano sostituirci e controllare il nostro modo di vivere. Questa paura, alimentata dai media e da diverse associazioni, è comprensibile.Ma, forse dovremmo considerare un'altra preoccupazione: che questa paura ci immobilizzi come utenti, permettendo ad altri attori di dettare le regole mentre noi restiamo indietro, incapaci di adattarci.Tutti i miei link: https://linktr.ee/br1brownFonti:TELEGRAM - INSTAGRAMSe ti va supportami https://it.tipeee.com/br1brown

Conclusion Shoshana Zuboff, Harvard Business School

Un controverso programma di intelligenza artificiale basato su Dall-E di OpenAI genera idenikit di polizia fotorealistici, nella piena incarnazione della Terza Legge di Zuboff che recita “Ogni tecnologia che può essere usata per sorveglianza o controllo SARÀ utilizzata per sorveglianza o controllo”.E subito torna alla mente il programma di Amazon per il riconoscimento facciale, Rekognition, che ha dovuto essere sospeso perché abusato - nonostante i problemi noti - dalle Forze di Polizia americane.E la riflessione sui #DirittiCivili e sulle #Libertà (anche) #Digitali diventa fondamentale, perché quando la AI viene utilizzata per prendere decisioni che hanno impatti sulla vita reale e sulle Libertà, forse la barriera di adozione e di controllo dovrebbe essere molto più elevata che non qualche riga di codice scritta di getto…E voi, cosa ne pensate?La presentazione »https://lablab.ai/event/openai-whisper-gpt3-codex-dalle2-hackathon/eagleai/forensic-sketch-airtist»»»Ti sei già iscritto alla [Membership PRO], per supportare il Canale e avere una serie di contenuti esclusivi?https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm5H2LH2ISgpX-X5-SP4Vrg/join»»»Io sono MATTEO FLORA, sono un Imprenditore seriale nel Digitale e insegno in università #Reputazione e #Cybersecurity.

We conclude our discussion of Zuboff's "In the Age of the Smart Machine: The Future of Work and Power" by projecting her conclusions to the present day. On the one hand, many of her findings about the creative ways that management reasserts its authority are still relevant today, but she had also offered strategies for integrating new technologies in ways that would improve both work performance and worker commitment and satisfaction. Would such strategies work today?

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss have an in-depth chat about Shoshana's Zuboff's theory of 'surveillance capitalism', which postulates the existence of a new variant of capitalism that significantly involves the digital monitoring of people's behaviours. Eric and Louis mainly base their discussion on Zuboff's 2015 article in the Journal of Information Technology, which explains how capitalism in the contemporary era may be based in some respects on a new logic of accumulation. Because there is so much ground to cover, Eric only manages to slip in one of his celebrity impersonations into the episode. He tries to do a brief impression of George Takei, leading many listeners to think, 'oh my!'.

Robots are not people, information does not want to be free, and the internet has no consciousness of its own. Meanwhile, human society trades on outrage and no one can tell what is true and what is false. Among the many enduring themes of human experience is how we create tools that in turn re-create us, and the past couple decades are only an accelerated and amplified version of that. With the help of tech critic Jaron Lanier, in this episode Dad and I explore the roots of how the whole world has gone mad, what it means to be and remain a person in the midst of it, and the urgency of doing so. Otherwise, "those who make them become like them," as Psalm 135 puts it. Notes: 1. All of Lanier's books are highly recommended: You Are Not a Gadget, Who Owns the Future?, and Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. 2. Scott, Seeing Like a State 3.

Kristen and Kyla are joined by activist Robert Miller to discuss Corey Doctorow's book “How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism”. For extra credit Kyla and Kristen also tried to read Shoshana Zuboff's “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism”, as Doctorow wrote his piece in large part as a response to Zuboff's. Topics: what is surveillance capitalism; what are the harms of surveillance capitalism; what would a world without surveillance capitalism look like.

För att beskriva vår tids ekonomiska system talar många om senkapitalismen. Katarina Bjärvall funderar på vad som gör dagens kapitalism till den sena kapitalismen, samt vad som väntar härnäst. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Jag kan ha varit åtta nio år. En dag när jag och min familj kom hem hängde det en kasse på handtaget till ytterdörren och i kassen låg en Barbiedocka, en Ken, en Skipper och massor av kläder till dem. Detta guld, visserligen begagnat, hade lämnats av en rebellisk faster. För Barbie betraktades med misstänksamhet i min familj eftersom dockorna ja vad? Idag kan jag undra, men ett skäl var nog att de förmedlade osunda skönhetsideal. Ett annat var kanske att de var amerikanska. Och var det också för att de var produkter av kapitalismen? Nej knappast, det sa ingen. Ordet kapitalism var alldeles för politiskt laddat för användas i ett medelklasshem på 70-talet.I mitt minne är kapitalistisk inte en beskrivning utan en beskyllning. Ordet användes under 1900-talets sista decennier bara på 1 maj-demonstrationer och då i det led som tågade längst ut till vänster. Som ett mer neutralt uttryck fanns "den fria marknaden". Det har nu förändrats. På senare år har k-ordet tagit mark i sin neutrala betydelse: det system där kapital i olika former styr beteenden. Till och med professorer i nationalekonomi använder nu ordet när de med myndig basröst lyfter fram fördelarna med den modell som Karl-Bertil Jonsson försökte punktera med sin naiva givmildhet.När kapitalismen som begrepp har förlorat sin laddning har systemets kritiker fått hitta nya ord. Då har senkapitalism blivit det nya arga. Vad är det som definierar senkapitalismen? Vilka yrken exempelvis? Bitcoinspekulant, elbilskonstruktör och influerare förstås. Och Voijägare, alltså att samla ihop övergivet elskrot på nätterna. Mystery shopper, alltså att testa servicepersonal i skarpt läge genom att rya om varmare havremjölk. Och så det gamla hederliga lastbilschaufför, alltså att ratta runt prylar som någon köpare blivit besviken på och som därför ska tillbaka till en lagerhangar någonstans i vildmarken.Exemplen är inspirerade av Tommy Sundvalls serienovellsamling Äventyr i senkapitalismen. Men varje gång jag ser det ism-ordet, eller hör det, tänker jag: Varför sen? Är det en optimism, att snart slår denna kapitalistiska parentes över i något nytt och uppfriskande? Eller är det en pessimism, snart har kapitalismen kört slut på mänskligheten och då följer apokalypsen?Det sägs ju att det är lättare att föreställa sig jordens undergång än slutet på kapitalismen, så vad är det som tyder på att denna -ism nu ska ha nått sitt sena stadium?Faktum är att senkapitalism inte alls är något nytt ord, en tysk ekonom vid namn Werner Sombart myntade det redan vid sekelskiftet 1900. Ett sextiotal år senare etablerades det av en annan tysk, Ernest Mandel, i hans bok Spät Kapitalismus, översatt till svenska på 1970-talet och utgiven i två mastiga band. Marxisten Mandel skriver redan i förordet att han beklagar att han inte har hittat något bättre ord senkapitalism refererar ju endast till kronologin och säger inget om hur sammansatt denna ism är. Men som nödbegrepp får det duga.Senkapitalismen kännetecknas enligt Mandel av att marknadsföring och krediter har fått fritt spelrum. Det leder, menar han, till internationalisering och centralisering av kapital, snabb teknologisk förnyelse och en expansion av servicesamhället. Och, som han också noterar, permanent upprustning, förgiftning av vatten och luft och förödd ekologisk balans. Samtidigt är de konkreta uttrycken av den senkapitalism Mandel tyckte sig se nästan rörande: Den privata skräddaren ersätts av masskonfektionsindustrin, skomakaren ersätts av skoaffärernas och skofabrikernas reparationsavdelning och tjänsteflickan eller städfrun av dammsugare, tvättmaskiner och diskmaskiner. Bra grejer ju! Lättare liv inte bara för de rika utan för alla, inte bara för män utan för kvinnor. Inte konstigt att senkapitalismen blev hegemonisk.Mandel skriver också, med symtomatiskt marxistiskt språkbruk, att varje enskild senkapitalist betraktar alla proletärer som potentiella konsumenter. Och det är där det syns att tiden har sprungit ifrån begreppet senkapitalism.För dagens starkaste kapitalägare, de digitala stormakterna, betraktar inte längre massan av människor som konsumenter utan som råvara. Det visar amerikanska Shoshana Zuboff i sin bok Övervakningskapitalismen. Hon beskriver hur de digitala jätteföretagen lägger beslag på alla former av mänskliga erfarenheter och säljer dem vidare till företag som vill förutse och styra människors beteenden. Detta har lett till en koncentration av rikedom, kunskap och makt som har höjt sig över allt demokratiskt grundat beslutsfattande.Övervakningskapitalismen är med andra ord luften vi andas, genom datorer, mobiler och surfplattor, genom övervakningskameror, smarta hem och sakernas internet.Och genom snedsprång som den uppkopplade dockan Cayla. Hon var en kommersiell succé 2014 och hon var något annat än barbiedockorna i kassen på ytterdörren hemma hos mig. Genom sin uppkoppling kunde hon tala med den som lekte med henne. Men det hon hörde barnet säga såldes också som rådata till marknadsföringsindustrin och bland det hon själv sa till barnet fanns köpta reklambudskap från till exempel Disney. När det dessutom avslöjades att vilken hacker som helst kunde bryta sig in i tekniken och lyssna på barnet floppade den. Idag ställs Cayla ut på det digitala Museum of failure, misslyckandets museum.Zuboff skriver om övervakning, men digitaliseringen har också andra skadeverkningar, till exempel på vår hälsa. Detta är något som tänkande människor har anat i ett par årtionden men som forskning först på senare tid har kunnat belägga. Nu vet man att överanvändning av digitala medier är en viktig orsak till att allt barn och unga drabbas av olika former av psykisk ohälsa. Bland annat eftersom de inte får tid att sova. "Vi konkurrerar med sömnen och vi vinner", som Reed Hastings, Netflix vd och medgrundare, har sagt.Så varför vinner inte sömnen, människans kanske allra mest grundläggande behov? Varför verkar de kritiker som kämpar mot den digitala kapitalismen vara chanslösa? Därför att kampen förs enligt kapitalismens spelregler, där pengar trumfar etik och där de som avtäcker dessa strukturer är dömda att förlora just eftersom de visar upp teknikens överlägsna styrka. Ett moment 22.Det handlar alltså inte bara om att övervaka människan utan om att kapa henne. Övervakningskapitalism blir följaktligen ett alltför smalt ord för att beteckna vår tid. Så vad ska vi kalla den? Den digitala stormaktstiden vore nog det mest rättvisande men det är för långt. Så kanske är senkapitalism ändå det minst dåliga alternativet. Man kan ju stava det med z om man vill, zenkapitalism, för att visa hur kapitalet genom meditationsappar försöker tjäna pengar även på vårt alltmer förtryckta behov av att komma till ro. Eller så kan man stava det med sc scenkapitalism, för att visa att vi lever våra liv på en digital scen för alla att ta del av.Men vad kommer då efter senkapitalismen? Ja, det måste väl bli sistkapitalismen. Då när vi alla har ett chip inopererat som gör att kapitaliserade upplevelser och erfarenheter spelas upp inuti våra kroppar och själar. Då behöver inget barn leka med något så primitivt som dockor, uppkopplade eller inte, det räcker att barnet känner en tillstymmelse till leklust så händer leken inom henne. Och då har hon och vi alla blivit marionettdockor som dinglar i de digitala strängarna.Katarina Bjärvall, författare och journalist

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Book review: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, published by Richard Ngo on February 14, 2022 on LessWrong. I recently finished Shoshana Zuboff's book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. It's received glowing reviews, but left me disappointed. Zuboff spends much of the book outraged at the behaviour of big tech corporations, but often neglects to explain what's actually bad about either the behaviour itself or the outcomes she warns it'll lead to. The result is far more polemical than persuasive. I do believe that there are significant problems with the technology industry - but mostly different problems from the ones she focuses on. And she neglects to account for the benefits of technology, or explain how we should weigh them against the harms. Her argument proceeds in three stages, which I'll address in turn: Companies like Google and Facebook have an “extraction imperative” to continually “expropriate” more personal data about their users. They use this for “the instrumentation and instrumentalisation of behaviour for the purposes of modification, prediction, monetisation, and control.” Ultimately, this will lead to “a form of tyranny” comparable to (but quite different from) totalitarianism, which Zuboff calls instrumentarianism. On data: I agree that big companies collect a lot of data about their users. That's a well-known fact. In return, those users get access to a wide variety of high-quality software for free. I, for one, would pay thousands of dollars if necessary to continue using the digital products that are currently free because they're funded by advertising. So what makes the collection of my data “extraction”, or “appropriation”, as opposed to a fair exchange? Why does it “abandon long-standing organic reciprocities with people”? It's hard to say. Here's Zuboff's explanation: Industrial capitalism transformed nature's raw materials into commodities, and surveillance capitalism lays its claims to the stuff of human nature for a new commodity invention. Now it is human nature that is scraped, torn, and taken for another century's market project. It is obscene to suppose that this harm can be reduced to the obvious fact that users receive no fee for the raw material they supply. That critique is a feat of misdirection that would use a pricing mechanism to institutionalise and therefore legitimate the extraction of human behaviour for manufacturing and sale. It ignores the key point that the essence of the exploitation here is the rendering of our lives as behavioural data for the sake of others' improved control over us. The remarkable questions here concern the facts that our lives are rendered as behavioural data in the first place; that ignorance is a condition of this ubiquitous rendition; that decision rights vanish before one even knows that there is a decision to make; that there are consequences to this diminishment of rights that we can neither see nor tell; that there is no exit, no voice, and no loyalty, only helplessness, resignation, and psychic numbing. This is fiery prose; but it's not really an argument. In more prosaic terms, websites are using my data to serve me ads which I'm more likely to click on. Often they do so by showing me products which I'm more interested in, which I actively prefer compared with seeing ads that are irrelevant to me. This form of “prediction and control” is on par with any other business “predicting and controlling” my purchases by offering me better products; there's nothing “intrinsically exploitative” about it. Now, there are other types of prediction and control - such as the proliferation of worryingly addictive newsfeeds and games. But surprisingly, Zuboff talks very little about the harmful consequences of online addiction! Instead she argues that the behaviour of tech companies is wrong for intrin...

Harvard professor Shoshana Zuboff wrote a monumental book about the new economic order that is alarming. "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism," reveals how the biggest tech companies deal with our data. How do we regain control of our data? What is surveillance capitalism? In this documentary, Zuboff takes the lid off Google and Facebook and reveals a merciless form of capitalism in which no natural resources, but the citizen itself, serves as a raw material. How can citizens regain control of their data? It is 2000, and the dot.com crisis has caused deep wounds. How will startup Google survive the bursting of the internet bubble? Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin don't know anymore how to turn the tide. By chance, Google discovers that the "residual data" that people leave behind in their searches on the internet is very precious and tradable.

This week we welcome the incredible Prof. Shoshana Zuboff, writer, activist, and scholar (Professor Emeritus at Harvard Business School). She is the author of three books, each of which signaled the start of a new epoch in technological society. Her most recent book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, has been called “the Das Kapital of the 21st Century.” You may recognise Prof. Zuboff from the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, which highlighted how nefarious and powerful big tech companies like Facebook and Google really are. We are now in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, and it is worse than you think. Google, from the time of its inception, intended to mine you for your data, invade your privacy, and use you for profit. Prof. Shoshana Zuboff has the inside information, and reveals all in this episode.

W styczniowym odcinku podcastu „Dziś w książce” Zuzanna Kowalczyk bierze pod lupę temat kapitalizmu inwigilacji czy też nadzoru – tego, czym jest, komu służy a kogo drenuje, jaki rodzaj nierówności wprowadza i w jaką stronę nas wiedze. Usłyszycie o tym, do czego big techom służą nasze dane, jak ich wykorzystanie może zagrażać demokracji, oraz w jaki sposób można zmienić nierówne reguły gry na podstawie książki Shoshany Zuboff* „Wiek kapitalizmu inwigilacji. Walka o przyszłość ludzkości na nowej granicy władzy”. Ok, ale to po co różne firmy gromadzą nasze dane? Jaka skala zagrożenia czyha za aferą z Pegasusem? Dlaczego raper Łona nie korzysta ze Spotify? I na czym może polegać „cyfrowa samoobrona”? O zagrożeniach wynikających z logiki kapitalizmu nadzoru, nadzorcach i nadzorowanych oraz ryzykach technooptymizmu opowiada Sylwia Czubkowska**. Zapraszamy do wysłuchania tego odcinka wspólnie z „Pismem. Magazynem opinii”!   *Shoshana Zuboff – amerykańska psycholożka społeczną, emerytowana profesorka Harvard Business School, filozofka.

Många av oss tillbringar mycket tid på sociala medier. Ibland får vi lust att göra motstånd. Men hur ska det gå till egentligen? Författaren David Jonstad funderar över några motståndsstrategier. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.I ljudinspelningsteknikens barndom gjordes ett test. Folk fick ställa sig vid ett skynke och lyssna till ett stycke operasång från två olika ljudkällor. De visste att det bakom skynket fanns dels en rullbandspelare, dels en riktig operasångare. För de flesta var det svårt att urskilja när sången kom från bandspelaren och när den kom från operasångaren, trots att ljudkvaliteten på bandspelaren var rätt usel. Men tekniken var ny och häpnadsväckande, och i försökspersonernas hjärnor upplevdes därför maskinkopian som lika verklig som verkligheten.På liknande sätt har det gått till när annan ny teknologi har introducerats. Men efter en tid har vi vant oss och upplevelsen blir då en helt annan. Tekniken får då snarare verkligheten att framstå som mer verklig. I fallet med bandspelaren fick den oss att uppskatta den unika upplevelsen av livemusik.Det digitala teknikskifte vi nu befinner oss i är ännu så pass nytt att det fortfarande har förmågan att hänföra oss. Så pass att den handfull storföretag som dominerar tekniken har kunnat slå klorna i större delen av mänskligheten och det är först nu som de mörka sidorna av denna revolution börjar framträda.Vi häpnar över hur mycket som kan rymmas i en manick inte större än en handflata. Att vi i våra  fickor kan bära runt en portal in i ett eget universum av relationer, kunskap, ljud och bild. Men medan vi tillbringar allt större del av våra liv i denna värld exploateras vi utan att märka det. Författaren och Harvard-professorn Shoshana Zuboff kallar det för övervakningskapitalismen i sin bok med samma titel. Hon jämför Google, Facebook och de andra techjättarnas explosionsartade uppgång med den industriella revolutionen. Då var det naturen och dess resurser som förvandlades till varor på en global marknad. I dag är det vi själva och i synnerhet våra beteenden som är råvaran som får kapitalismen att frodas.Industrikapitalismen hotar att kosta oss jorden, skriver Zuboff, övervakningskapitalismen hotar att kosta oss vår mänsklighet.Det är en dystopisk verklighet hon målar upp. Med maktfullkomliga organisationer som vet mer om oss än vad vi själva gör och hur dessa blir allt skickligare på att förutse och styra våra beteenden. Ofta i syfte att hålla kvar vår uppmärksamhet på skärmen och allt vad denna erbjuder på bekostnad av livet i övrigt.Mot detta bör vi göra motstånd, om vi håller livet kärt. Frågan är bara hur. Zuboff hoppas att vi med hjälp av lagstiftning ska upprätta ett nytt kontrakt för en digital kapitalism där medborgarna är med och bestämmer vem som äger makten över informationen. Vi ska göra den digitala framtiden till vårt hem, skriver hon.I viss mån görs försök att reglera övervakningskapitalismen, men de kommer sent och det lär inte bli enkelt att rå på dessa giganter som använder sin enorma makt till att motsätta sig alla försök till regleringar. De fem största bolagen är nu dessutom så stora att de utgör en tiondel av USA:s totala börsvärde vilken politiker vågar vingklippa dem och riskera en börskrasch?Medan Zuboff alltså tar sikte på hur vi med samhällets etablerade institutioner ska kunna återföra makten över internet till dess användare tar sig den amerikanska konstnären och skribenten Jenny Odell an frågan om motstånd från ett helt annat håll. I den hyllade boken How to do nothing. Resisting the Attention Economy utforskar hon mer och mindre genomtänkta strategier för att krångla oss ur techbolagens klor. En av dessa är att betrakta skärmen som ett gift och att åka på retreat för digital detox. Budgetlösningar finns i allehanda appar som syftar till att begränsa användningen av framför allt sociala medier. Det lite ironiska med denna strategi, konstaterar Odell, är att den ofta säljs in med argumentet att den ökar användarens möjlighet att vara mer produktiv på sitt arbete (inom kapitalismen).Mer drastiskt är att fly fältet en metod med tusenåriga rötter. Med start hos filosofen Epikuros i det antika Grekland berättas om historiens många försök att exempelvis bygga upp lantliga kollektiv där deltagarna kan undkomma den rådande kulturens urartning för en sundare tillvaro med fokus på det goda livet. Erfarenheterna från 1960-talets Back to the land-rörelse avskräcker dock Odell som menar att de flesta ändå inte har möjlighet att dra sig undan på det sättet. Inte heller ger hon så mycket för strategin att bojkotta Facebook eller andra plattformar eftersom det sällan är någon bestående lösning. Och vi vet ju hur det brukar bli. De som lämnar gör det med dunder och brak, men det dröjer inte länge innan de kommer smygande tillbaka till den moderna lägerelden.Istället föreslår Odell något enklare: Bryt trollbindningen till skärmen! Hennes uppmaning om att göra inget ska förstås som att göra det du verkligen vill göra, snarare än det som andra vill att du ska göra. Den produktivitet eller nytta som vi tycker oss uppnå genom skärmen sker alltid på bekostnad av sådant vi hade kunnat göra någon annanstans. Hon skriver: Den första delen av att göra inget är att frigöra sig från uppmärksamhetsekonomin; den andra delen är att återengagera sig i något annat.Det saknas alltså inte förslag och idéer om hur en motståndskamp skulle kunna se ut. Håller rullbandsspelarens knastrande ljud alltså återigen på att bli avslöjat? Möjligen har vi nu kommit så långt i det digitala teknikskiftet att vår upplevelse av tekniken är på väg att förbytas. Från nyhetens behag och hänförelse till mognad och krasshet. Visst har digitaliseringen många nyttor, men det innebär inte att vi vill gå helt upp i den.Ironiskt nog får detta draghjälp av techindustrin själv. När Facebooks moderbolag hösten 2021 bytte namn till Meta och presenterade sin vision för framtidens fördjupade social medier-imperium, The Metaverse, framkallade det mer kalla kårar än entusiasm. Med hjälp av VR-glasögon och augmented reality-teknik ska vi konsumenter smälta samman med den digitala världen så att vi till slut inte vet var den ena världen slutar och den andra börjar. The Metaverse presenterar en utopi som låter oss fly den kaotiska och skitiga analoga världen in i rena underbara miljöer som vi själva bestämmer, liksom vi bestämmer hur vi själva ska se ut och uppfattas av andra. Som många har påpekat framstår detta inte som en utopi utan som en dystopi i linje med den som Zuboff varnar för där ännu större delar av våra liv blir kontrollerade av en handfull bolag som kommer spela på våra känslor och begär som ett piano.Kanske är det försent att återta makten. Men att döma av kommentarerna som följde på lanseringen lever fortfarande hoppet om något annat. Om det digitala universum som Facebook vill skapa framstår som en mardröm snarare än en dröm är det inget vi vill fly till, men ifrån. Ut i en analog verklighet, med all sin skitighet och sitt naturliga kaos.David Jonstad, författareLitteraturShoshana Zuboff: Övervakningskapitalismen vid maktens nya frontlinjer.

Die IT-Riesen wollen die Verbraucher noch mehr als zuvor von sich abhängig machen und ihre Daten abgreifen. Eine Rezension zu „Das Zeitalter des Überwachungskapitalismus“.Ein Standpunkt von Bernd Kuck.In der heutigen schnelllebigen Zeit scheint der gedruckte Text eine überholte Einrichtung zu sein. Allerdings nur insofern, als der Überwachungskapitalismus nahezu ungebremst voranschreitet. So gesehen ist Shoshan Zubhoffs Buch „Das Zeitalter des Überwachungskapitalismus“ natürlich aktueller denn je. Es geht um die großen Akteure Google, Facebook plus WhatsApp, Apple, Amazon und Microsoft, die inzwischen eine monopolistische Macht erlangt haben, die die Demokratien massiv gefährden. Was Zuboff noch nicht erwähnen konnte, sind unter anderem die Ausweitung des Geschäfts von Amazon auf die sogenannte Cloud-Speicherung, der Angriff von Google auf Microsoft mit Hilfe von Google Chrom OS und der wichtige Einstieg auf dem Laptopmarkt. Die Idee dahinter ist: kaum noch Speicherplatz auf dem Laptop, alles geht online, Programme laufen online, gespeichert wird in der Cloud. Vielfach herrscht Begeisterung darüber, dass dann die PCs und Laptops billiger werden und dass in den Firmen ganze IT-Abteilungen eingespart werden können, weil Updates direkt in der Cloud erfolgen. Was sich die Enthusiasten nicht klar machen: Die Datensicherheit ist auf diese Weise gefährdet. Das Gros der Menschen wird noch mehr zu Datenlieferanten für die Werbeindustrie. Und Microsoft zieht nach: Windows 11 kommt auf den Markt und wird das Cloudcomputing ebenso vorantreiben. Windows 10 wird ab 2025 nicht mehr mit Updates versorgt, also müssen alle in die Cloud (Handelsblatt vom 13. August 2021 (2))? Es bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass Linux gegenhalten wird und die Freiheit der Entscheidung den Nutzern überlässt.Aber nun zum Text. Die Kernthese besteht darin, dass die Nutzer schon lange nicht mehr bloße Datenlieferanten sind, was sich von den Datenkraken in klingende Münze umsetzen lässt, sondern längst die gesammelten Daten dazu genutzt werden, Verhaltensmanipulationen vorzunehmen. Dazu verhelfen nicht nur Cookies, sondern der ganze Bereich des sogenannten Smarthome. Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, dass die Barbiepuppe aufflog, weil sie via WLAN-Anschluss die Gespräche der Kinder belauschte, um deren neueste Wünsche zu erfahren. Das geht auch in der Erwachsenenwelt: Der Fernseher hört mit, Alexa sowieso und auch Cortana, die Sprachsoftware von Windows ist mit am Ball. Das bedeutet letztlich den Verlust der Privatsphäre. Aber der normale Nutzer, die normale Nutzerin hat ja nicht einmal eine Idee vom Minimum an Datenschutz (3).Wozu braucht Ihre App Zugriff auf Kamera und Mikrophon, wenn Sie doch nur den aktuellen Wetterbericht erfahren wollen? Und selbst für digital Affine übersteigt es die Vorstellungskraft, was im Hintergrund an Datenmassen gesammelt wird, miteinander verknüpft und gewinnbringend vermarktet wird. Wer immer noch glaubt, dass es im Kapitalismus irgendetwas kostenlos gibt, der findet es wahrscheinlich auch toll, wenn sich die Vorstellung der Datenkraken erfüllt, bei der Sie in eine Bar in Frisko gehen, wo der Barkeeper schon weiß, dass Sie kommen, weil er dafür bezahlt, dass Sie in die richtige Bar gelotst werden. Und er hat schon Ihren Lieblingsdrink gemixt, weil er natürlich weiß, was Sie so mögen. Doof nur für den Barkeeper, wenn mir heute nach etwas anderem ist. Aktuell kann mensch sich gruseln bei den Ergebnissen des Künstlerprojekts „Made to Measure“. Siehe dazu auch den Artikel in der TAZ vom 30.8.2021: Bis du dich wiedererkennst.Für Zuboff geht es also „um die Verfinsterung des digitalen Traums und dessen rapide Mutation zu einem ganz und gar neuen gefräßigen kommerziell orientierten Projekt, dem ich den Namen Überwachungskapitalismus gegeben habe“. Was Marx nicht wissen konnte, denn diese Spielart des Kapitalismus ist völlig neu, selbst wenn sie auf dem Neoliberalismus gründet. Sie ist auch beispiellos, was die Überrumpelung der Menschen erleichtert. Diese Spielart nährt sich nicht von Arbeit, sondern von jeder Art menschlicher Erfahrung.„Überwachungskapitalisten wissen alles über uns, während ihre Operationen so gestaltet sind, uns gegenüber unkenntlich zu sein. Überwachungskapitalisten entziehen uns unermessliche Mengen an Wissen, aber nicht für uns; sagen unsere Zukunft nicht zu unserem, sondern zu anderer Leute Vorteil voraus“.Wenn schon der Kapitalismus an sich aus dem Ruder gelaufen ist, so in diesem Feld der neuen Märkte erst recht. Der Neoliberalismus hat dazu die Grundlage geschaffen, indem er mit seiner Marktideologie den Staat immer mehr zurückdrängte.„Die Disziplin der Wettbewerbsmärkte versprach, die aufsässigen Individuen ruhigzustellen, ja sie sogar wieder in Untertanen zu verwandeln, die zu sehr mit Überleben beschäftigt sind, um sich groß zu beschweren“.Quasi nebenbei entdeckte Google den „Verhaltensüberschuss“. Damit meint Zuboff, dass die Rohstoffe für die Datenkraken, die bislang der Verbesserung der Suchergebnisse dienten, nunmehr den einzelnen Nutzer ins Visier nehmen. Das geht bis hin zu Stimmungsdaten, die sich aus den Suchanfragen, aber auch aus der Art des Tastenanschlags ermitteln lassen. Derlei Verhaltensdaten stellten einen Überschuss dar, der dem damals noch jungen Unternehmen „die nachhaltigen und exponentiellen Profite“ einbringen würde.So ließen sich Nutzerprofile erstellen, selbst wenn der Nutzer sie nicht ausdrücklich zur Verfügung stellt.„Nutzerprofil-Informationen können jede Art von Information über einen individuellen oder über eine Gruppe von Nutzern enthalten. Solche Informationen können, die Genehmigung einer Herausgabe der Nutzerinformationen durch einen Dritten vorausgesetzt, vom Nutzer gestellt und/oder aus den Aktionen des Nutzers gewonnen werden. Gewisse Nutzerinformationen lassen sich anhand anderer Nutzerinformationen desselben Nutzers und/oder Nutzerinformationen anderer Nutzer ableiten und vermuten. Nutzerprofil-Informationen können mit unterschiedlichen Einrichtungen verbunden sein“. (4)Wir sind schon lange nicht mehr das von Google verkaufte Produkt. Unseren Subjektstatus haben wir im Netz sowieso schon verloren. Vielmehr sind wir die Objekte für die unrechtmäßige Datensammlung, sind der Rohstoff für Googles Vorhersagefabriken…weiterlesen hier: https://apolut.net/wachstumsschub-fuer-den-kraken-von-bernd-kuck See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Das Social Credit System in China wirkt zwar weit weg, aber sind wir in der Hinsicht wirklich besser dran als das Reich der Mitte? Wie weit fortgeschritten die Überwachung bereits bei uns ist, zeigt die Harvard-Professorin Shoshana Zuboff in ihrem Buch „Das Zeitalter des Überwachungskapitalismus“.

"We must make a choice. We may have democracy or we may have a surveillance society. But we cannot have both. A democratic surveillance society is an existential and political impossibility." Welcome to the first episode of WESPOD! We are excited to bring you Shoshana Zuboff, writer, activist, and professor at Harvard Business School. In this fascinating talk, Zuboff discusses the perils of surveillance capitalism, which profits from "data-fication" of human behaviour and experience. She argues that tech giants such as Facebook, Amazon, Google, who hold the answers to "who knows", and "who decides who knows", without being elected and for profit motives. This violates our epistemic rights, which poses a fundamental threat to democracy and the rule of law, and presses the need for better legal institutions.

I denne episoden av LØRN bokbad snakker, Silvija Seres, med forfatter av boken Digital Revolusjon, Hilde Nagell. Hilde har doktorgrad i statsvitenskap, og har hele livet vært engasjert i politikk og samfunn. I boken belyser hun hvordan den digitale revolusjonen preger alle deler av livene våre, som skole, arbeidsliv hverdag og offentlig samtale, men makt og frihet har blitt flyttet fra oss og demokratiet vårt til teknologien og store teknologiselskapet. — Jeg vil vise at utviklingen av teknologi ikke er noe som «bare skjer», men trenger at vi gjør valg og lager ny politikk, forteller hun i episoden.

Vstoupil “člověk ekonomický” do nové éry? Stávají se z nás všech pomalu ale jistě včeličky, jedna jako druhá? V této epizodě vyjdeme z eposu harvardské profesorky Shoshany Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, a objasníme, co to vlastně znamená žít ve věku sledovacího kapitalismu. Jak jsme se dostali do situace, kdy o nás velké technologické firmy ví víc než my sami? Kdo data o nás nakupuje? A proč by byla chyba myslet si, že to vše končí reklamou na boty? Přiblížíme logiku, na které nový druh kapitalismu funguje, a vysvětlíme, proč podle Zuboff v sázce není nic menšího než naše lidství. Je vůbec v našich silách technologické giganty zkrotit? A kdo a proč vytváří “nové touhy”? Varování: přehráním tohoto podcastu podpoříte sledovací kapitalismus!

Cold open: Agent Zuboff receives her mission. Main show: We politically cancel Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, for advancing / mainstreaming a reactionary critique. Surveillance capitalism is not a “rogue mutation” of a normal capitalism. Surveillance is not the scapegoat that needs to be sacrificed so we can maintain a good version of consumption and commodification. We let you in on a little secret—one that Zuboff’s work is designed to obscure—the real horrors have been coming from inside capitalism all along. Morozov’s article on Zuboff’s bad analysis of surveillance capitalism: https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov Monthly Review article with good analysis of surveillance capitalism: https://monthlyreview.org/2014/07/01/surveillance-capitalism/ Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin). Production / Music by Jereme Brown (twitter.com/braunestahl). Thanks to Laura for voice work on the cold open.

As coined and elaborate by Shoshana Zuboff, monetisation Of people's behaviour into prediction products which are sold in the market.Tech giants like google started accumulating more than required data and developed a fast track to monetisation. Democracy is being undermined and controls of future may be lost. Saying no to and introducing alternatives is the way out. P.S. Zuboff ends here but ain't this the same exploitation capitalism is doing for centuries???

Reportage fra Shoshana Zuboffs optræden på CBS 2019 - tidligere sendt på radio24syv - aflyttet

Von der #Digitalisierung wird zwar laufend geredet, mitunter auch von der Übermacht der #SiliconValley-Konzerne, aber was meint das genau? Leben wir jetzt einfach in einer Wirtschaft 4.0 oder braucht es einen anderen Begriff, der zugleich als Analyseinstrument dient? Die US-amerikanische Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin Shoshana Zuboff hat den Begriff Überwachungskapitalismus geprägt und beschreibt in ihrem Buch detailliert, wie sich das Internet verändert hat und wir alle zu überwachten Subjekten gemacht werden, die den Tech-Unternehmen zuarbeiten. Alles begann mit #Google, doch anfangs, so beschreibt es Zuboff, haben die Gründer der Suchmaschine gar nicht verstanden, wo ihre eigentliche Geldquelle liegt. Inzwischen sind alle Digital-Konzerne (außer Apple) mächtige Akteure des Überwachungskapitalismus. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“.

Efni Víðsjár í dag: Í febrúar árið 2016 sendi tónlistarmaðurinn Arnar Guðjónsson frá sér plötuna Grey Mist of Wuhan sem innblásin var af ferðalögum hans til borgarinnar Wuhan í Kína sem mikið hefur verið í fréttum að undanförnum vegna veirunnar sem við borgina hefur verið kennd. Arnar rifjar upp för sína til Wuhan og segir frá verkinu í Víðsjá í dag. Björn Þorsteinsson prófessor í heimspeki heldur áfram að bregðast við spurningunni: Hvað nú? Hann hefur líkt og fyrir viku sjálfan heimsendi í huga og fjallar í dag meðal annars um eftirlitskapítalisma en á síðasta ári kom út mikil bók eftir bandarísku fræðakonuna Soshönu Zuboff, sem nefnist Öld eftirlitskapítalismans og hefur að geyma afrakstur af gríðarmiklu rannsóknarstarfi sem Zuboff hefur innt af hendi síðustu áratugi.

Google har aldrig haft som primær formål at tjene penge. Deres Founders Letter siger, at de vil finde løsninger på globale problemstillinger – for at være idealister. Men det er lettere sagt end gjort, når man som Google skal balancere på en knivsæg mellem innovation og etik. I denne episode spørger vi Googles direktør i Danmark, Malou Aamund, hvor meget samfundet kan og bør tøjle tech-giganterne, uden at det dræber motivationen for at udvikle revolutionerende produkter. Vi skal også snakke kunstig intelligens, og hvilken indflydelse det vil få på fremtidens arbejdsmarked på godt og ondt.Vært på programmet: Peter Mogensen, direktør i Kraka og politisk kommentator.Medvirkende: Malou Aamund, administrerende direktør for Google i Danmark, og Anders Dons, Nordisk CEO for Deloitte.

How has the concentration of power changed in the last 20 years? Zuboff argues that surveillance capitalism has given rise to a new form of power called 'instrumentarianism.' This power and its related ideology is driven by the idea that, because humans are irrational and make many bad decisions, powerful organizations are ethically obligated to apply behavioral control techniques which encourage collective well-being. By predicting bad behavior and stopping it, or by encouraging good behavior, big data technologies could transform the world as we know it. This comes at the price of individual agency and privacy. Zuboff outlines this worldview and offers a scathing criticism.

"The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power" is a 2019 masterpiece. It has had a tremendous influence on my beliefs regarding big data technologies.  You can find it on Audible, from your local library, or book store. In this book, Zuboff details the rise of a new form of power which will forever change our lives. By collecting behavioral data from their users, corporations have amassed an incomprehensibly large and detailed picture of our personal lives. They use this data to expand their corporate power and profitability. This, of course, has tremendous consequences for our privacy, but also for our political system.

By collecting and analyzing personal data, corporations are able to make predictions about how a person is likely to behave in the future. They use this data to create seemingly harmless targeted ads - but what else can they do with it?Zuboff argues that this capability actually reflects the birth of a new form of power called "instrumentarianism." Corporations are unbounded in their desire for profits, so too are they unbounded in their conquest for behavioral data. This is imporant to them because it allows them to create better personal models, and predict your behavior with a higher level of certainty. Using these behavioral futures, they can not only nudge you to buy certain products, but they can also make inferences on your private life - details like your political beliefs, your intelligence, and even if your parents were divorced in your childhood. Advanced data science combined with cutting-edge psychology has created a marketplace of personal profiling unlike anything we have ever seen.Furthermore,  these corporations have a unique level of influence in politics. They can affect the outcomes of elections, invest in lobbying, or even encourage specific people to go vote.All of this paints a picture of unprecedented powers, which only through Zuboff's insight do we see from a clear perspective.To learn more visit our website:  ► https://bigdatabigissues.com/Follow Sheldon Kreger on LinkedIn:► https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheldon-kreger-16054430/

Originally broadcast in April 2019. As we approach the end of 2019, the Financial Times recognizes Shoshana Zuboff's "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" as one of the best business books of the year. Shoshana Zuboff doesn’t mince words when it comes to the data economy. According to Zuboff, author of the recent book *The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, *our very souls are at stake. But the seeds of surveillance capitalism were planted rather innocently, back in the heady days of the dotcom bubble. As Zuboff tells it, it all began with Google. When the young company entered crisis mode, they needed to find new ways to make money. And a whole new economic logic was born — one that has now spread across every sector of the economy, and has invaded every facet of our online lives. Zuboff warns that surveillance capitalism threatens much more than just our privacy. Find out more at rawdatapodcast.com

Tegenlicht-regisseur Roland Duong interviewde Zuboff uitgebreid in Londen voor zijn uitzending ‘De Grote Dataroof’. Tom Reijner, researcher bij Tegenlicht, spreekt met hem over deze bijzondere ontmoeting, over onze naïviteit en onwetendheid omtrent de praktijken van Silicon Valley en wie toch de mensen zijn die deze nieuwe economische orde hebben opgebouwd.

Shoshana Zuboff of Harvard University talks about her book Surveillance Capitalism with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Zuboff argues that the monetization of search engines and social networks by Google, Facebook, and other large tech firms threatens privacy and democracy.

How has it come to pass that corporations, enabled by digital technology, can now spy on us in the most initmate areas of our lives, and use or sell this information for commercial profit? How can this happen without our real knowledge or consent? This program poses and discusses these questions and presents a challenge to the current status quo.Refs:Richmond, B.

The third and final instalment in our series on algorithms and the digital condition. In this episode Kiegan Irish and Alex Boos discuss what kinds of people we are becoming in a world dominated by communication media and surveillance. We talk about some of the implications of data collection for our daily lives and the way that companies and governments use data to incentivize certain kinds of behaviour. In the end, we speculate about ways of living and organizing around digital media that could serve as alternatives to the digital mechanisms of control and domination in the hands of the current ownership class.

Shoshana Zuboff doesn’t mince words when it comes to the data economy. According to Zuboff, author of the recent book *The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, *our very souls are at stake. But the seeds of surveillance capitalism were planted rather innocently, back in the heady days of the dotcom bubble. As Zuboff tells it, it all began with Google. When the young company entered crisis mode, they needed to find new ways to make money. And a whole new economic logic was born — one that has now spread across every sector of the economy, and has invaded every facet of our online lives. Zuboff warns that surveillance capitalism threatens much more than just our privacy.

Shoshana Zuboff–Surveillance capitalism arrived on the scene with democracy already on the ropes, its early life sheltered and nourished by neoliberalism's claims to freedom that set it at a distance from the lives of people. Surveillance capitalists quickly learned to exploit the gathering momentum aimed at hollowing out democracy's meaning and muscle. Despite the democratic promise of its rhetoric and capabilities, it contributed to a new Gilded Age of extreme wealth inequality, as well as to once-unimaginable new forms of economic exclusivity and new sources of social inequality that separate “the tuners” from “the tuned.” Among the many insults to democracy and democratic institutions imposed by this coup des gens, Zuboff counts the unauthorized expropriation of private human experience; the hijack of the division of learning in society; the structural independence from people; the top-down imposition of the hive collective; the rise of instrumentarian power and radical indifference that together sustain its extractive logic; the construction, ownership, and operation of the means of behavior modification that is Big Other; the abrogation of the natural right to the future tense and the natural right to sanctuary; the degradation of the self-determining individual as the crucible of democratic life; and the insistence on psychic numbing as the answer to its illegitimate quid pro quo. This event is hosted by Data & Society's AI on the Ground Research Lead Madeleine Clare Elish.

Harvard Business School professor emerita Shoshana Zuboff talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about her new book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power. In this episode: Zuboff's background and why she wrote the book; how the economy got digitized; maximizing shareholder value "scraped the life out of so many of our institutions and our businesses"; how surveillance capitalism was invented; why Zuboff uses the term "surveillance capitalism"; how tech companies are like magicians (and not in a good way); and what the hell do we do about this?

We talk to Shoshana Zuboff about The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, her game-changing account of what's gone wrong with the world of big tech and how to fix it. What is surveillance power and why is it destroying the things we value? How have we allowed this to happen? Where will the resistance come from? Plus we ask whether the real problem here is technology or capitalism itself. With John Naughton.Talking Points: In her new book Zuboff writes, “"surveillance capitalists know too much to qualify for freedom.”What is the relationship between knowledge, freedom, and capitalism?The neoliberal argument is that markets must be free because they are so complex that they are ineffable. No one knew anything, so everyone must be free.Today, the major tech companies are claiming the same thing. But in fact, these same arguments are the opposite of what Hayek and Smith intended because surveillance capitalists make it their business—literally—to know everything.Surveillance capitalism is a radical asymmetry of knowledge, and this knowledge creates a new and unique form of power.Surveillance capitalists have succeeded in part because of an ideology of inevitablism. Blame the networks, this is just how they are.This is insidious because it threatens free will and human autonomy.Democratic society is impossible without the notion that individuals have the capacity to choose their actions and shape the future.What can be done? Lifting the veil: naming what’s going on allows us to deem it intolerable. We need a sea change in public opinion.Building better systems: people do not want to be trapped in the current environment. There is space for someone to forge an alternative path to the digital future.Collective Action: Power is not just exerted in the economic domain—it’s everywhere all the time. How do we come together to tame this kind of capitalism?Will this be enough? The excesses of raw capitalism during the Gilded Age were tempered by the World Wars. The historical conditions today are different. Democracy was in trouble before Facebook.Thomas Paine says that every generation needs to fight for democratic values. These principles are never won for all time.In surveillance capitalism, we are not the customers or the employees. This is rogue capitalism that is cut loose from society. Are predictions of human behavior legitimate products that should be sold in the marketplace? Should we have markets that trade in human futures?Information technology always produces more information. Who gets to know, who decides who knows, and who decides who decides who knows? The Chinese state sees in surveillance capitalism the means to its own political ends.The conflation of authoritarian power and instrumentarian power is the ultimate nightmare—and this is a realistic prospect for the future of humanity.A happy ending is not inevitable, nor is it impossible.Mentioned in this episode:Shoshana Zuboff’s new book, The Age of Surveillance CapitalismEric Schmidt in 2009 on privacyDemocracy Hacked: David talks to Alan Rusbridger and Martin Moore about fake news, democracy, and the changing information environmentToronto, Google, and resistance to the...

In her new book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Harvard Business School’s Shoshana Zuboff argues that tech companies — like Google and Facebook — collect so much personal data for profit, that they’re changing the fundamentals of our economy and way of life. And now these companies are learning to shape our behavior to better serve their business goals. Shoshana joins Manoush Zomorodi to explain what this all means for us. We then explore whether or not it’s time to end our relationship with corporate spies. OG advice columnist Dear Abby gives us some tips to start with. We chat with philosopher S. Matthew Liao. He asks if we have a moral duty to quit Facebook. Alice Marwick explains why most people won’t leave the social network. And journalist Nithin Coca tells us what it was like for him to quit both Facebook and Google. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy, but he has no regrets. IRL is an original podcast from Mozilla, maker of Firefox and always fighting for you. For more on the series go to irlpodcast.org. Shoshana Zuboff is the author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Read Professor S. Matthew Liao's Op-Ed Do You Have a Moral Duty to Leave Facebook? in the New York Times. Here is Nithin Coca’s story on fully quitting Google. Mozilla is on your side. Firefox has never — and will never — sell your data. And, we make things that give you more control over your life online. If you love Facebook but hate their data collection practices, reduce what they can track about you. Try Firefox’s Facebook Container extension, which makes it harder for Facebook to track you on the web outside of Facebook. Want more? Mozilla has teamed up with 826 Valencia to bring you perspectives written by students on IRL topics this season.

Nick Couldry has recently coined the term 'data colonialism' in order to highlight continuities from colonialism’s historic appropriation of resources to today's datafication of everyday life. He visited us in Berlin for his lecture "Colonised by data". HIIG researcher Thomas Christian Bächle met with Couldry – who once was his professor at Goldsmiths College in London eleven years ago – for a talk on the digital society. In this episode, we learn about Couldry's very own media rituals – celebrity spotting and falling asleep to the radio news – as well as how a media professor is dealing with knowing what kind of personal data WhatsApp is collecting. Also: What exactly is data colonialism? How is it different from concepts such as surveillance capitalism (Zuboff, 2018) or data capitalism?
