Digital Rights, Privacy, and Surveillance

"[Shoshana] Zuboff writes that the propagandists of surveillance capitalism presents its surveillance apparatus...”as the product of technological forces that operate beyond human agency...”...This rhetoric of the inevitable has already been successful, she adds, to the extent that it has provoked in citizens a sense of resigned helplessness. But there’s no natural law by which power and wealth should necessarily keep accruing to the same people, just because they have in the recent past."
