'The reality is people are leaving FB in droves'
I'd like to believe that, but a quick survey of friends, family, colleagues confirms its just not true. They won't even skim articles about surveillance capitalism (Shoshana Zuboff / John Lanchester). And the Max Schrems case proving Facebook never deletes anything? They don't care either.
I could live with surveillance capitalism if we had robot butlers or hover cars at least. But instead we see such nasty manipulation of users by US tech giants (Uber especially). And manipulative pay-for-ads by political exploiters (Cambridge Analytics). Its Blakes7 dystopia, only without the spaceships / rebels!
