Google wiped the personal phone of Rebecca, one it’s employees who has been targeted for organizing with her co-workers.
What kind of digital dystopia do we live in??
Power is so concentrated that the tech monarchy can intervene in our lives in ways we don’t dare imagine.
@motolibrarian How can we invest in humans instead of digital tools?
1. Fair wages
2. Stable employment
3. Unions
4. Focus on education that serves the public good
5. Flexible definitions of knowledge and its production
6. Metrics that value people, relationships, and justice

@EvanSelinger@shoshanazuboff Honestly, the @kashhill series on trying not to use Google/Facebook/etc. is great for showing how prevalent surveillance is AND how it's so incorporated into tech structures that avoiding it causes problems.
Her living-in-a-smart-house article is great too.
@profmgilman@EvanSelinger@shoshanazuboff This is a fantastic piece! I'd definitely second this suggestion. I like to pair it with the Our Data Bodies project's Reclaiming Our Data report: https://t.co/X81LmWcmbw
