And HERE is the problem.
Facebook sees us ONLY as Product (our data) that can manipulate/buy/sell - and treat us accordingly.
Advertisers see us ONLY as Consumers they can sell to - and treat us accordingly.
Politicians see us ONLY as Votes (not voteRs) they can snatch - and treat us accordingly.
And we let them.

- passivepinetree 9y agoOkay, so what is to be done about it?
- ModernMech 9y agoStart with the politicians. Vote out anyone who doesn't support campaign finance reform. Then we can make our government a little less sociopathic.
- etherealG 9y agoStart with your attention. The impact will be even bigger than your vote. Avoid services altogether that abuse you, even if there’s some benefit you gain out of it.
