The world’s #liberal democracies now confront a tragedy of the #un-commons.” #Information spaces that people assume to be #public are strictly ruled by #private #commercial interests for maximum #profit. The internet as a self-regulating #market has been revealed as a failed experiment. #Surveillancecapitalism leaves a trail of social wreckage in its wake: the wholesale destruction of #privacy, the intensification of social #inequality, the poisoning of social discourse with #defactualized information, the demolition of social norms and the weakening of #democratic institutions.
