Re: <nettime> Networks of Control, a summary of today's surveillance |
Hi nettimers, I published a new report on the inner workings of today's personal data industries, surveillance capitalism, pervasive real-time social sorting, data-driven persuasion, and the convergence of data analytics for marketing and risk decision-making. It is a follow-up to the below mentioned "Networks of Control" piece and includes a 93 page PDF report, as well as an (easier-to-read) web publication with illustrations: http://crackedlabs.org/en/corporate-surveillance/ Cheers from Vienna, Wolfie On 09.10.2016 15:47, Wolfie Christl wrote: > Hi nettimers, > > I wrote an extensive report on how today's online platforms, data > brokers, credit reporting agencies, insurers, app developers and tech > companies are collecting, analyzing, sharing and making use of vast > amounts of personal information, together with my co-author Sarah > Spiekermann from Vienna University of Economics and Business.
