I have very little faith that this ship will be turned around. It’s not even the explicit invasions of privacy from facial recognition that are the most damning. Its the hordes of people willingly providing their data through social media. Our culture has embraced the erosion of privacy and autonomy with such enthusiasm it almost feels engineered. In fact, it very well might be. When we let money dictate the stories we tell and who tells them, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that culture becomes yet another tool to entrench the inequality we live in.
