I think my favorite part is below. If I never heard the term "brand" applied to a person again, it would be too soon.
Ditto! I've always hated that!
I teach leadership to tech folks and one of my students one year wrote about building his personal "brand." I reprimanded him for talking about himself as though he were a product. I automatically distrust someone using this kind of stupid language.
If corporations are people, can't people be products?? We all just move down one notch on the humanity scale
People are already products. Data collected on you is packaged and sold aka "monetized" in Silicon Valley parlance.
Social Media, shopping loyalty cards, online shopping, etc. This is what happens when you transition from cash-based anonymous shopping.
And your smartphones... "tracking for your safety". Lulz.
Amazon Echo, Google Home etc...
I say all this but y'all love getting tracked and do jack shit about it but kvetch.
Having a pi-hole in your house is a start to prevent trackers.
Google the basics on making your smartphone stop leaking data to manufacturer/OS vendor/app developers.
