What is surveillance-fascism?
(a.k.a. what is the Fediverse missing?)

* big data
(collection of tons of private data used for profiling and authoritarian control)
* attention harvesting
(reducing attentionspan and causing addiction)
* ragebaiting
(hatred boosting alorithms & government botfarms)
* hyper-capitalism
(ads, more ads, profit, hidden ads, influencers, interrupting ads, plugs, camoflaged ads)
* AI

@PaulaToThePeople @CosminOprescu AI is misplaced. It is not a functionality or feature, it is more infrastructure. It is like electricity. Imagine your - otherwise good - list with a final, explanation-less item:

*electricity

AI, as an enabler infrastructure plays role in all 4 of your other feature points. But AI is and can be used for good as well.

It is probably the very controversial big tech use of AI you think about. But that is covered in the 4 points already.

Example: Grok is directly integrated into Twitter --> AI is also a distinct point to make
