@happybeing I am a big fan of Shoshona Zuboff. I’d recommend this article too: https://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/debatten/the-digital-debate/shoshan-zuboff-on-big-data-as-surveillance-capitalism-13152525.html The important point for Solid is, I think, that regaining control over our data is only part of the problem, we need to also gain control over our attention and behavior and the corporations that harvest them. As long as entities can track and aggregate what we pay attention to and what we click on, and where we go with our smart phones and what we do in our smart homes, our entire existences are simply data points for someone to sell.
