In part one of Christine’s book report, they tell us about the basic theory of surveillance capitalism, aka how companies use our data to make money. We learn about the early days of Google, the presence of intelligence agencies in Silicon Valley, regulatory capture, and all kinds of nasty stories of corporations just… getting away with shit.

This week: more Israel stuff, including TX’s boycott on speaking out against it and its worrying campaign to funnel money into more war crimes. Plus, accidental hate group hangs, facial recognition for politicians only, hustle culture in dating, the decay of the third space, what we’re reading right now, and some government conspiracy theories for good measure.
