- criddell 2mo agoPresumable the ads on Facebook are served by Facebook and they know who you are and what you are doing on Facebook.

- axus 2mo agoI believe that, as long as you add that the surveillance is also for money.
- dfee 2mo agoin that money is the atomic unit of economic control, sure. government's don't surveil for money, unless you bend the argument a bit to say the government has finite resources and is run off money itself. which is kinda true, but also kinda fuzzy (the Fed).
- axus 2mo agoI don't think governments are the majority buyers of the surveillance, no doubt they buy a little bit.
