Online Privacy: The Impact of Surveillance Capitalism on Our Sense of Well-Being
How does surveillance capitalism impact our privacy and well-being? More importantly, what exactly is surveillance capitalism and how might it have a longer term impact on us and society? In this episode, I’m diving head first into the topic of surveillance capitalism, privacy, and how it is affecting us in ways that we may not even realize.
Listen in as I define surveillance capitalism and how it differs from the most common understanding of capitalism, how companies collect and use our data, and what data exhaust is. I also examine the psychological impact that privacy concerns can have on us, why privacy is crucial to our overall well-being, and what the future of data privacy and surveillance capitalism may look like.
And as with everything I share on the podcast, this is what I believe based on what I’ve read and researched. But please don’t take my word for it. Keep what sticks, discard the rest and for goodness sakes, go out and test drive it!
