"It is not fine!

Itā€™s exactly how systems of control grow. Not through force. But through comfort.

They donā€™t need to steal your privacy. They just wait for you to trade it in for dopamine."

@deborahh @bmacDonald94 I donā€™t think this is quite right either. Maybe you donā€™t go on social media at all but if you bank online, submit job applications online, etc. your info is getting collected, scraped, and sold. Your ISP or cellphone provider keeps track of where you are and what sites you visit.

And thereā€™s the whole thing about credit bureaus, which collect and sell your info even if you donā€™t really go online at all.
