I agree with his first proposal. My view is that the big AdTechs (mainly Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktoks and the likes) are one of the worst poisons that humanity has ever created. They brainwash you, destroy democracies, create drama in order to shove ads down your throat. And then they turn around and pat themselves on the back pretending to be good actors "making the world a better place". Leaders of those comp…
In my humble opinion they are worst than that. They are a gateway for ultimate mind control, on a scale and effectiveness never seen before in human history. Selling ads and making money is scratching the surface of this complex and ever expanding machines of power and deception.
My theory is that Governments and Old Perception Gatekeepers are realizing this in full scale, but instead of regulating or stopping, they want full access to the Perception Control Mainframes and Perception Spyware Receivers that we care around and keep alive 24/7. https://bit.ly/3nJmFTH
In the recent years the coordinated attacks from Governments on free speech and encryption increased drastically.
Recent example is Apple's attempt to normalize on device private user data processing and policing with Government approved criteria trough third party private corporation "partnership". Setting an example to be followed by others. https://bit.ly/3nFE2ox
This is the beginning of Big Tech and Big Government convergence that will form the future of mankind. One unified social system presented to the masses as an inevitable implementation for a common good.
The sad part is that we are now working not only for AdTech companies, we are working for the Global Surveillance Apparatus and accept that this is the only way forward.
>And then they turn around and pat themselves on the back pretending to be good actors "making the world a better place". Leaders of those companies pretending to be good humanitarian beings drive me absolutely crazy.
Sounds pretty political to me. To survive and protect their existence and profits FAANG invested tons of money in lobbing and now have Political partnerships and Politicized UX.
Users are like party members, they are not only using the tech, they participate in brand awareness exercises and protect whichever brand they are selected to belong.
For me FAANG are implementing Edward Bernays abusive psychology on steroids, without any remorse or ethical boundaries what so ever. They simply don't care. Some Men Just Want to Watch the World Burn. And taking big money from the process.
P.S. As I recently stated, down-voting only makes the message more relevant.
