Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from “social” media?

Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay… :)

    until big-tech forces the governments to kneel to the surveillance-capitalism biggest:

    You think governments are resisting?

        Do you know what an optocoupler is? It’s when there’s no thermal or electric connection between parts, but the information gets transferred.

        This is the same. Government officials don’t have to officially communicate with businesses in corrupt ways or allow such “revolving doors”.

        They may communicate, well, face-to-face unofficially, get kickbacks.

        And they also can do things mutually interesting for the business and the official without ever communicating about it, the economic interest is that communication in itself.

        And then economic interests are just a subset of power interests. Like surveillance.
