Spot on. The capitalist system SOLELY treats money as the sole objective. That's the game and fine, we accept it, it has 'worked' (more or less) for a very long time. But really the world is becoming less about money. Heck, just look at all the money printing going on demonstrates that the value of money in absolute terms is diminishing [1]. We care more about our data, ideas, who stores them and what they use it for. We care about being influenced because it affects the decisions we make and the onward impact on the societies we live in. China is absolutely petrified of the idea that people can band together and protest against their power structure. The US is petrified that Chinese companies can be used by state apparatus. Both concerns are legitimate to those on each side of the 'fence' here. I really hope we don't end up with walls around each countries Internet but it may be unavoidable. We're becoming a civilisation less tolerant and more suspicious.
