WATCH THIS | Age of surveillance capitalism: “We thought we were searching Google, but Google was searching us”
This video from Democarcy Now! is worth watching not as tech commentary, but as political economy—showing how data harvesting mutates into prediction, influence, and quiet control.
This short clip from Democracy Now! cuts to the core of surveillance capitalism without euphemism or startup gloss. Shoshana Zuboff lays out the central betrayal of the platform economy: what users believed was search, connection, and convenience became large-scale behavioral extraction. The video is worth watching not as tech commentary, but as political economy—showing how data harvesting mutates into prediction, influence, and quiet control, long before regulation or public consent enters the picture. It’s a reminder that the most dangerous systems don’t announce themselves as threats; they arrive branded as tools.
Democracy Now! is an independent, nonprofit news program known for long-form interviews and investigative reporting that challenge corporate power, state surveillance, and official narratives, distributed globally across radio, TV, and digital platforms.
