How has technology enabled surveillance capitalism?
Technology has played a significant role in enabling surveillance capitalism by providing the tools and infrastructure necessary for the collection, analysis, and monetization of personal data. This new economic system relies on advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and machine learning algorithms to track, monitor, and store massive amounts of online user behavior and preferences. Through the proliferation of smartphones, internet-connected devices, and social media platforms, tech companies have amassed extensive personal data, allowing them to target individuals with tailored advertising and manipulate their online experiences. This technological ecosystem has created a symbiotic relationship between surveillance and capitalism, where the commodification of personal data is a valuable asset in generating profits for these tech giants.
