Why does it matter which surveillance capitalist "wins"? It's us who will lose in the end.
Amazon is now selling that data and surveillance technology to law enforcement, and Google to the military. I don't feel good about any of them "winning" in this market.

- TulliusCicero 8y agoOP says Google and Amazon are selling personal data though, that's the thing there's no citation for. I don't dispute the part about selling tech.
