I've not read the book, though I reckon I got the point. If you've read it, would you say it describes reality or frames it?

a well-researched and well-argued book.

the author draws on a wide range of sources, including academic research, industry reports, and media articles, to paint a comprehensive picture of the reality of #surveillancecapitalism.

a #mustread. #bookstr

What does he say about people preferring to get a free service rather than pay for privacy?

yes, no.

You mean most people you know would prefer to pay for their social media and internet browsing?

you already have an answer.

now make up whatever else you want so can feel right, but still be wrong πŸ™‚
