    I rate it a solid Hm/10. It's interesting as it's from the horses mouth so to say, but it's conclusions are very impotent. It really suffers for how liberal it is. Like Shoshana Zuboff, who wrote The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, is interviewed but she isn't allowed to doesn't mention anything about capitalism being bad. Also, it ironically talks a lot about how conspiracy theories propagate, but also functions as a kinda conspiracy about how nation states pay for conflicts using facebook ads?

    Idk it's not like a waste of time, but it's target audience is definitely like armchair libs who want to feel a little "oh my :o" but not feel any inclination to do anything

    And like I don't even think it had to be anticapitalist or anything, the conclusion could have been decentralisation/non-profit/nationalise etc
