Sure. Punish kids, maintain harm to vulnerable adults, and the tech bros get their usual free pass.
Canadians friends, you can push back. Contact the PM's office and your MP. This is about mass surveillance and privacy violations. The language they're using is manipulation.

I don't understand why the concept of economic violence isn't more mainstream. Few people seem to use it, even in academic and activist circles.
We have enough resources to give everyone a decent life. Not taking those resources to share them with everyone is a conscious choice by the state and other actors of power.
When we do austerity politics, it is a form of economic violence: common folk are asked to suffer in ways that can be extreme (and lethal) so that the rich don't have to share.
Words hold power, and labeling things correctly helps give them more meaning. Austerity is an euphemism. Economic violence is more descriptive.
