Good thread on SocialDilemma_ - Shoshana changed my mind on several points. Her point about misinformation in a doc about misinformation is 🔥 We need to define addiction, marketing and advertising when talking about them. And obvi not let these dudes control the narrative! swodinsky/1308922100388974597

To be clear, these were not the points I changed my mind on ;) I never thought these guys should control the narrative. 😑 I wrote about the need to nuace 'tech addiction' last year. axbom.blog/tech-addiction/

What she did change my mind on was Lanier's description of gradual changes in behavior being the product. We also need to remember that we still carry autonomy. Our sense of wellbeing is part of a larger societal picture and the success of these platforms are not in a vacuum.

Also, Don Draper. None of this is new. But the power is globalized, centralized and with more privacy issues. I always think of it as as the extreme version of Hidden Persuaders (that 1957 book by Vance Packard).
