This is confused in many ways. The only people who care about “mass surveillance” are tech insiders. It’s incoherent to be mad about fake business models and too much money being made at the same time - if startups are stupid then VCs are losing their shirts (and if we hate them, then we should help them do it even bigger and faster). If Silicon Valley is an engine of runaway wealth inequality then objectively speaking, the business model works. Making things people want generates profit, which is always and inherently evil according to communists, and enriches investors/executives/employees faster than the average person, which according to anyone who is committed to “income inequality is bad” also makes the world worse.
