How does surveillance capitalism affect personal autonomy?
Surveillance capitalism fundamentally undermines personal autonomy by rendering individuals as mere data points for prediction and behavioral modification. When our experiences are systematically extracted and analyzed without our meaningful consent, and then used to nudge us towards predictable outcomes, our capacity to act freely and authentically is diminished. This creates a hidden architecture of control that shapes our choices and limits our potential for self-determination.
