He is referring to how tech is driving our social life outside of our comfort and privacy zones. Today you can't function properly, as a member of western civilization, without carrying a smartphone, and for that you get penetrated into your privacy by the provider of the phone OS, be it apple or google, the 2 big ones. Before you had cars, tv, planes etc, but none of them followed you inside in your bedroom. Now you are.
