04/11/2022 Beyond the Web Speaker Series - Shoshana Zuboff

The main business model of the Web goes by a label we all now know from the title of Shoshana Zuboff's landmark book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power. How do we fight surveillance capitalism? And how do we work around it? How, especially, can we keep our new Byway from becoming infested with it-or with the mendacities behind it?

Incredibly important work. Thanks for posting this! Follow through by citizens pushing for a set of governance solutions that really protect individual privacy and work in the public interest is essential to the future of our democratic republic in the United States. It would also be interesting to look at how to address this from the standpoint of the failure of anti-trust laws and their enforcement and the total failure of existing anti-trust laws relative to dealing with monopsony power.

Great presentation and discussion. Right around 1:14:42 mark there is a program "Together we create" mentioned by participant "Paul". I am wondering if I can find out more about it and make contact with the project? Twitter ID? Thanks.
