Lawmakers Plan Legislation to ‘Ban Surveillance Advertising’

  > Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, I've read this book. Highly recommended. That said, given her broad & deep analysis, my takeaway in an implied sort of way (i.e., she never directly said this) is that ads aren't the issue. The surveillance companies are slowly but surely wrestling influence (and control) away from traditional powers (e.g., gov, media, etc.) The status quo isn't going to watch and let that happen. Ultimately, it's about control. Who had it. Who's acquiring it.
