> I was watching a video about Gen Z versus Millennial views on this subject and they talked about how when Millennials were in high school and college, tech innovation was moving fast and delivering really useful, fun technology. It was also a lot less pervasive and all-encompassing in scope. It wasn’t a massive machine of surveillance capitalism, or at least, not in the same way. Figuring out which banner ads resonate with each user was a lot more innocent than private surveillance cameras on our streets doing Minority Report-style policing.

I think millennials are even more upset by this than other generations. They grew up with a version of internet technology that was useful and non-exploitive, then watched greedy tech companies and CEOs about face and burn it all down to make extra billions.
