I wrote it’s not wrong but the criticism is wrongly addressed. What you wrote is known and that’s why regulations exit. And still we have this kind of slavery. Don’t give your regulators a pass here.

It’s not wrong but a bit of a stretch to criticize capitalism for what is actually slavery.

I fear you are right. While I do believe that further policital abuse of that data is inevitable (Trump or the Malaysian civil war were at least partial results of campaigns of Cambridge Analytica, for example), people probably won’t see the impact data analysis had and how they’ve been manipulated.

where the f have these people been for the past 10 years?

They’ve been giving away their data for all that time and it hasn’t visible affected them negatively.

Of course it will eventually and they’ll Pikachu face then but that’s hardly comforting.
