She’s a Harvard professor and celebrated scholar who has been described as “the true prophet of the information age.” (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Shoshana Zuboff’s new book looks at the exploitation of the digital dream and its rapid mutation into what she has coined - surveillance capitalism.
A mutant form of capitalism where tech giants like Facebook and Google are spying on users and manipulating our data to exploit and predict behaviours - in what is a serious threat to our freedom and privacy.
Matt Frei talked to her about some of the ideas of her book: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power.

The irony and the sadness of understanding that she is probably aware that less than 2 % of the population in UK has the necessary education, background and vocabulary to fully understand what she is saying. I could see her dumbing it down to the max , as much as she can, she even had to explain the basic concept of freedom and democracy. Is a good thing she did not mention the panopticon society because that would have sent 99% of the people to sleep instantly. I usually hate academicians but i really like this lady.

1. Philosophers and deep thinkers do not actually always resort to utilising long complex words to convey their ideas. That is usually the trait of fanfarons and sciolists who hide the vacuity of their thoughts behind the prestige of pompous verbosity. 2. "Panopticon" is in actuality not a sophisticated word or quite such an esoterica (complex concept). Philomaths can find it in John Bentham or Michel Foucault's writings. The latter explains it masterfully in "Surveiller et Punir" in quite simple ordinary words. ;)

You are absolutely right. What she does is creating smoke screen when speaking of this phenomenon labeling it in "economic" terms. Yes it was also done in business for as long, long time. But it was also done by state and Church for millennia. In fact she is mouth piece of view that is terrified of these "state and church" are losing collective monopoly on that process. That technological changes make possible privatization of the power, and as such could lead to civil wars within establishment (Brexit and Trump are perfect examples of first battles of these wars). In a same way as Putin explains destabilization in Russia by Western intelligence operation, West explains destabilization at home by Russian or Chinese interference. Huawei Bans is just a smoke screen to destruct public (and illegal ways to fight competition in economics)

Is it time to fight back by starting a grass roots movement of deception on the part of online users.

@izzytwist6909 4 жыл бұрын

This unfortunately would only scratch the absolute surface of surveillance capitalist endeavours. If Google has enough algorithmic power to predict your future emotion because it bases its raw material source in many real world nodes of input (e.g CCTV, private shared photos, messages to friends), they will easily have the computational ability to assess whether the search you have inputted is an attempt at usurping that power.

Ms. Zuboff is a first-class thinker. We need more of her ilk. When your book first came out I blew it off because I was put off by the term "surveillance." That bothered me and I did not think it applied to us. It is a loaded word and I should have given you the benefit of the doubt by at least reading your book. Little did I know how far advanced these companies have advanced. Please follow up with a new book as the world has exploded and China is so far advanced in this area and someday our own people or government will use this information to "silence" those who do not comply. Kinda reminds me of an Orwellian society waiting to happen.

Along comes another anonymous tin hat mix up that's not precisely true comment. One wonders if such comments come from google itself? Huxley says in his later book Island that soma is good in contrast to his previous soma in his book Brave New World, which is here misunderstood one sidedly, perhaps mixed up with the Birchite fear of a new world order thrown in!? To every piece of sensible accurate, the good along-the-lines-off-stuff, which points in the better direction, there comes these sorts of comments alongside, well on u toob. But besides this, there is a very real problem and its not what usually gets side angled off with (which can lead to conspiracy theorising along reich-wing enablement lines). With what Shoshana is saying and has discovered, there is a truth, which is bad enough as it is.

She doesn't really do a very good job in that regard (I work in tech and consider this on the daily). There are genuine concerns, but a lot of her comments are pure speculation and framed with bias. I'm concerned more about monopoly than I am surveillance. She keeps on talking about things happening backstage yet has zero evidence, nor has anyone who's left tech whistleblown on bad practices (and churn rates in tech are high!).

But you do realize that the problem is not the surveillance (at least no right now) but manipulation and brainwashing, no?

@@renzoqu Yes of course I do, leaving Facebook was just one part of the steps I have taken to mitigate against this twisted intrusion. Like you pointed out the much bigger problem is the "manipulation and brainwashing". For anyone who wishes to wake up and understand this problem, you can't do any better than watching this incredible documentary by Adam Curtis: "The Century of the Self" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7Bjhd141LenZKc.html

You might have stopped using it but they are still tracking you and your friends and family if you're using any digital device. Deactivating or deleting your fb account means nothing to them. once your in the system you're there for life

Google and Facebook were not the pioneers in surveillance capitalism. Anyone who lived during the ninties will easily tell you just look at your supermarket club card. I.e. Kroger club card.

This is nothing new. Manipulation and social engineering using 'behavioural psychology' has existed for a long time, before the rise of digital technology, through the mass media, marketing, advertising and propaganda. Also how our perceptions are shaped by language, education, religion, and the beliefs of those around us. Digital technology, and our willing participation in it, has enabled this to be done in a much more sophisticated and invasive way, but it didn't invent this ability to manipulate the masses. Regulation and encryption may help but I think resistance is also through individuals, groups and networks becoming more aware and conscious, and learning how to use this technology, and the power of information to resist and promote alternatives to the agenda of corporate and political regimes.
