There is a already a crisis of invasive surveillance, profiling and profiting from stalking users. There is also government surveillance that can't be thwarted with its own panopticon of secret orders, secret courts and secret processes. Both of the above need to be urgently reined in to retain some sense of accountability and democracy. And these efforts including awareness are predominantly coming from outside the technical community. When the problem is concentrated global monopolies and power how can centralizing more control be the solution? And yet these seem to be the only solutions from the community.
