How To Destroy Surveillance Capitalism by Cory Doctorow
A sharp critique of the advertising-driven internet that explains how companies harvest and trade personal data to manipulate behavior, entrench monopolies, and harm privacy, democracy, and workers; it traces the technical and economic mechanics of profiling and attention markets and then offers a practical, activist agenda—stronger antitrust enforcement, bans or strict limits on targeted advertising, interoperability and data portability, privacy and consent protections, open protocols and decentralized alternatives, and design- and policy-based fixes—to reclaim user agency and rebuild an internet that serves people rather than surveillance-based profit.
