How is it wrong? We are the product when there is no product. If people don't share on facebook, facebook doesn't exist, hence people are the product. Same with Twitter. They sell information and access to the people using the platform to corporations, hence the people are the product. Frankly, this isn't a new concept, people are at least part of the product in almost every business that sells data or "insights". Credit reporting agencies, hello we don't pay for it (except to see our own data which is perverse), but we are the product. Acxiom and similar companies, we are 100% the product and they collect all our data through sources in the public domain and through buying access and then reselling "insights" about us, which makes us the product. If you go to a big box store and do a survey with one of those people walking around that give you a $10 off or whatever, you are the product, they are selling your data and "insights". I don't think there needs to be a comeback for the point that "people are the product", it is a fact and there isn't necessarily anything "wrong" with that, it just should not be hidden or denied IMO.
