Is surveillance capitalism not that bad? The value in monetising user data, or at least a critique of the dangers. Largely, the argument is “it’s never that bad” and also “people can opt out”. But the obvious counter would be “it has been that bad, until we did something about it” and “people don’t know how to or why they should opt out” which seems to me to be a cause for less optimism and more caution (i.e. the current trajectory)?
