The Rise of Surveillance Capitalism - TED Talk

We’re participating in the greatest socioeconomic experiment in human history. It’s called Surveillance Capitalism. Everything we do – morning, day, and night – is tracked, analyzed, and monetized. Google knows when you're pregnant, Facebook knows your finances, and Fitbit knows when you're having sex! What’s the cure? Tech leader Mark Weinstein delivers an eye-opening exposé and calls for a privacy revolution to reclaim what rightfully belongs to us.

“This is a must-read for anyone concerned with where we are today and looking for a better path forward.”

— Steve Wozniak, Co-founder, Apple Inc.
